Matt Hardy had his clock cleaned last night on RAW
Matt Hardy returned to RAW last night after a number of months on the sidelines due to injury. Hardy returned to his Hardy Boys era gimick and took on Buddy Murphy as a way to set up a match between WWE's 'Best Kept Secret' and Aleister Black.

Buddy Murphy and Matt Hardy had a short match, but it was full of action since a kick in the corner saw the former champion bust open Murphy's nose. It's unknown if the knee on the ropes following the Twist of Fate counter was then a receipt for this, but it looked as though it connected with the side of Matt's head.
There was then another knee that connected and took Hardy to the floor before Murphy then dragged him across the ring and hit yet another knee before the pin. The way Hardy was dragged across the ring caused many to believe that he may have been knocked out by one of those knees, which is why Murphy decided to pin him off of a knee rather than deliver his usual Murphy's Law finish.
