WWE pulled off a supremely slick act of espionage in sneaking brothers Matt and Jeff into the Camping World Stadium unbeknownst to fans in attendance (and reporters eager to blow the surprise). Seemingly they kept it under wraps from the entire roster as well.

Arriving at the top of the show alongside their spouses, all wearing very fetching and rather comfortable looking matching pink dressing gowns, the brothers Hardy were surreptitiously secreted into a private trailer awaiting their big cue. The nerves were tangible - the pair knew they had a 'WrestleMania Moment' in the making, and didn't want to nob it up. In a sly dig at Impact, the documentary was sure to leave in Jeff noting, "I miss the crowds."

After the fact, a whole host of WWE's locker-room collared the duo to express their shock and delight, their feelings seemingly unhurt by the fact they'd all been lied to.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
