WWE stars returning to the fold after several years of exploring waves outside of it have quite become a norm by now. From CM Punk to The Rock, the company needle movers have already flocked to make this WrestleMania season a banger. To add to this, will The Hardy Boyz be back to their old wrestling home as well? This is a question that has been swirling for some time now. The former WWE tag team champions AEW stature has declined their contracts are nearing an end. Matt Hardy and his wife attending a Raw episode made the return theory even stronger. We believe Matt Hardy’s WWE appearance was a far cry from a tease of a potential WrestleMania return, and here is why.

Narrating the real story, the AEW star went on, ”So what happened there is my wife has a spa that she’s part of and she gets a lot of her stuff there and she visits there a lot so she has a real close friend in Raleigh and she invited my wife and I just it’s like I would probably rather not go whatever, it would be chaotic especially if there’s people around.
