Remember at WrestleMania 35 when The Miz's dad balled up his fists and the internet subsequently decided to dive headfirst into a sea of memes? Well, leave it to Matt Hardy. The former SmackDown Tag Champ poked some fun at Mr. Miz and looked to pay homage to Shang Tsung from the Mortal Kombat series all at once.

When Matt spotted Lars Sullivan behind R-Truth backstage, he shouted, "It's him" and went into a fight pose that'd make Daniel LaRusso from The Karate Kid take notes. Hardy even found the time to laugh at his own moves on Twitter after SmackDown.

Fight!
