The latest ‘WWE Chronicle’ on the WWE Network focused on Jeff Hardy’s redemption story and his recent rivalry with Sheamus on SmackDown.

WWE documentary footage has given fans a glimpse of Vince McMahon’s reaction to WWE matches in the past, including his disappointment with Kevin Owens following the former Universal Champion’s WrestleMania 33 encounter with Chris Jericho.

Fortunately, Hardy’s match against Sheamus at Backlash was well received by McMahon. In fact, he liked it so much that he told the three-time WWE World Champion when he returned backstage that the match was “f***ing awesome”.

You may remember that Booker T repeatedly teased at the start of 2020 that he could make an appearance at the Royal Rumble, either in the 30-man match or in a tag team match alongside his brother, Stevie Ray, against The Revival.

That did not come to fruition, but the two-time WWE Hall of Famer is still not ruling out a possible in-ring return with WWE.

Speaking on Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast, Booker said all it would take is one phone call from WWE and he would seriously consider making a comeback.
