[WATCH] Unseen footage of AEW star Matt Hardy interacting with fans at WWE RAW
The WWE Universe is still buzzing after Matt Hardy appeared in the crowd during this week's RAW in North Carolina. New unseen footage has just surfaced, showing the AEW star having quite the time.
Matt's wife, Reby Hardy, took to social media to reveal that the happy couple were in attendance for RAW from PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC, which is not too far from their home. It was later reported that one of Reby's friends invited them to hang out in their VIP suite, so they went and stayed for around 90 minutes.
Reby has released more footage from the 2024 Hardy trip to RAW. Matt greeted a few fans, but then a line formed after others noticed what was happening. The veteran's wife noted how her husband did not leave until he took photos and shook hands with every fan who asked.
"[screaming face emoji x 3] it was going crazy in the @beautyco.raleigh suite ! #northcarolina," Reby Hardy wrote with the video compilation below.
WWE sources report that Hardy was at RAW as a visitor and not there to meet with company officials. It remains to be seen if he ever went backstage, but the word is that he did not have any kind of meeting as he is still under contract with All Elite Wrestling.
