UPS…

8. Hardys Vanquish The Club

After their surprise return to WWE at WrestleMania XXXIII Sunday night, the Hardy Boyz showed up on Raw to defend their newly won Tag Team Championships against former champs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

The brothers battled the Club and managed to overcome them, escaping a Magic Killer to hit a Twist of Fate/Swanton Bomb combo on Gallows for the ‘W.’ While it might seem a bit odd that brushing an accomplished tag team like that aside is a positive, consider that we’re heading into the draft, and one team that would benefit from new scenery would be Gallows and Anderson, who could be reunited with their Club running buddy AJ Styles.

Even if they stay on Raw, WrestleMania sometimes is a reset for feuds and even whole divisions, and with new tag teams debuting or possibly being traded to/from Raw, it was probably best that Gallows and Anderson lose their spot in line for now. It’s not like they were setting the world on fire at this point.
