6. A Laugh-Off?

Eventually, this is going to jump the shark and not be entertaining anymore, but for right now, it’s just on this side of different and strange enough to be enjoyable.

After dispatching with Curt Hawkins, Woken Matt Hardy came face-to-face with Bray Wyatt, complete with Wyatt’s spotlight. The two weirdo superstars spent a solid two minutes laughing at each other, each with his unique cackle.

It was an odd sight, but considering the two characters, it worked. And believe it or not, it actually advanced things, as they’ve gone from giving dueling promos on the Titantron to standing in the ring facing each other. Perhaps they’ll finally tangle (aside from Hardy jumping Wyatt a bit ago) at the Royal Rumble.
