Hardy took to Twitter to simply post a gif from WrestleMania 32 when the two embraced after Hardy won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Hardy and Wyatt tagged together in WWE and achieved great success. The two had unusual gimmicks and blended well together to form an off-beat duo which garnered a lot of popularity. They even went on to win the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships in 2018.

Matt Hardy's last WWE appearance in 2020
In February 2020, Matt Hardy was briefly involved in the feud between Edge and Randy Orton. He confronted Orton on two consecutive RAWs and was brutally attacked on both occasions. Both times, The Viper targeted Hardy's neck, which was possibly a way of writing him off WWE TV.

Zain is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE. He has a Bachelor’s degree in English and is set to pursue a Master's program at Harvard Divinity School later this year, along with having 4 years of experience.
Zain ensures his work is reliable and accurate by verifying the information through multiple credible sources. He aims to provide ample context and details in his articles, creating a pleasant reading experience.
While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
