Unseen WrestleMania footage of WWE legends emerge amidst return rumors
A WWE legend has shared behind-the-scenes footage from his and his tag partner's WrestleMania comeback seven years ago. The talent in question, Matt Hardy, currently competes in TNA.
Matt and Jeff Hardy revolutionized tag team wrestling along with rivals like The Dudleys and Edge and Christian during their initial run in WWE. After developing their incredibly popular "broken" gimmicks in TNA and plying the independent scene for some time, the duo returned to the sports entertainment juggernaut at WrestleMania 33.
The Hardy Boyz showed up at The Show of Shows in 2017 as surprise participants in a four-way ladder match to win the RAW Tag Team Championship by defeating The Good Brothers, The Bar, and Enzo and Cass. Matt Hardy recently took to X/Twitter to share behind-the-scenes footage of The Hardys' return to WWE at WrestleMania 33, featuring the brothers interacting with industry veterans like John Cena, Shawn Michaels, and Ric Flair.
"I love this behind-the-scenes video. This was such an emotional, epic event. Jeff & I are extremely grateful for our WM33 moments," wrote Matt.

Matt and Jeff Hardy exited AEW earlier this year and are currently signed with TNA, where they hold the TNA World Tag Team Title. The Nashville-based promotion's recent working relationship with the Stamford-based company has led to speculations regarding The Hardys' potential comeback to their old stomping grounds.
Matt Hardy's heartfelt words for departed WWE legend Eddie Guerrero
November 13 of this year marked nineteen years since the passing of legendary pro-wrestler Eddie Guerrero.
Matt Hardy, who had wrestled Latino Heat several times during their shared time in the World Wrestling Entertainment, paid his respects to Guerrero during a recent edition of his Extreme Life podcast.
"Eddie was very laid-back. He was very humble. His humility was just off the charts," Hardy said. "As great as he was, you never saw that. He had a great sense of humor. He loved to put smiles on faces. If he could crack a joke or do something funny to put a smile on a face, he always would. He was just a good guy through and through, someone who was always a pleasure to deal with every single day. Especially once he got everything together in life, he was just constantly a pleasure to be around." [H/T WrestlingInc.]
The Broken One last crossed paths with Guerrero on a September 2003 episode of Smackdown in Wisconsin, unsuccessfully challenging the latter for the WWE US Championship.
