On Raw, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor all received quite the reception from fans in Montreal for either speaking fluent French or trying their hand at a few simple phrases ("Je m'appelle Finn Bálor"). Come SmackDown, poor Jeff Hardy's attempt was completely ignored.

As a guest on Miz TV, Hardy criticised Miz for failing to win at the Greatest Royal Rumble like he did. Jeff then quickly said, "moi".

Instead of giving Jeff the same reaction they did to his peers on Monday, the live crowd barely even stirred for the remark. Having watched back the segment a few times to see what went wrong, it's pretty clear everyone missed it.

Maybe Jeff should have told Miz to "tais-toi" instead...
