WWE News Roundup: Details about Brock Lesnar’s real-life heat with AEW Superstar, 4-time world champion makes bold comparison with Roman Reigns, and more (April 7, 2021)

#3 Matt Hardy calls out WWE for ‘damaging practice’

Matt Hardy is unhappy with WWE

WWE recently posted a compilation of the loudest pops to WrestleMania returns. Interestingly, it did not involve The Hardy Boyz's return that prompted the entire arena to erupt at the 2017 edition of WrestleMania. Several fans noticed the absence of one of the best return clips in WWE and tagged Matt Hardy in the post.

The current AEW Superstar then responded by saying that their return is not included because he is currently signed with a rival promotion. However, he also used the opportunity to call out WWE for their ‘damaging practice’ that continuously revises history. Here’s what Matt Hardy had to say:

“For everyone who’s tweeted me, our WM33 return isn’t included because I’m now at AEW. I’ve always felt it’s a damaging practice to selectively revise history with diehard fans. You tell me, should our WM33 return be on this list?”

Matt Hardy made his AEW debut back in March 2020. Jeff Hardy, on the other hand, is still working for WWE as a part of the RAW roster. Together, they share a long and illustrious history in WWE with several accolades to their name.

#4 Shelton Benjamin rejects an offer on WWE RAW

Shelton Benjamin wants to stay beside Cedric Alexander

Last week on WWE RAW, The Hurt Business split up after MVP, and Bobby Lashley blamed Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin for ‘embarrassing’ the group. In their bid to prove that the WWE Champion needs them, Alexander and Benjamin took turns to face Lashley. However, the latter prevailed and sent a strong message to Drew McIntyre ahead of their title match at WrestleMania 37.

Following that, Reckoning from RETRIBUTION invited Benjamin to join her group. However, the former Hurt Business member rejected the offer and topped it by mocking the WWE RAW Superstar. Finally, she took back her invite, and Benjamin appears to remain focused on his alliance with Alexander on the Red brand.
