The Hardy Boyz missed Monday Night Raw because Matt's wife Reby Sky is set to give birth to another baby boy within the next few days, at least according to the ex-Raw Tag-Team Champions Twitter account.

After dropping the titles to Cesaro and Sheamus at Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view, Matt and brother Jeff were taken off the road as both prepare to welcome another baby into the family. That explains why neither were in attendance for Monday's Raw, despite beaten champions in WWE usually getting an automatic rematch upon losing championship gold.

Cesaro and Sheamus cut a standard heel promo about The Hardyz on Raw, and the lack of a rebuttal from Matt and Jeff left everyone confused. That's likely coming, and could happen before the Great Balls Of Fire show, but there's no definite time schedule in place for Matt's return.

Right now, it's understandable that he'd want to be by his wife's side, as well as taking care of the couple's young son Maxel. It has been speculated that the Hardyz losing the tag titles at Extreme Rules would lead to the start of a "Broken" angle.
