The Hardy Boyz was one of the teams that defined the attitude-era tag team division. Fans loved them because of their extreme wrestling style and cool, funky outfits. However, Matt and Jeff left WWE and were wrestling elsewhere before making a big surprise return at WrestleMania 33.
As of today, both men are not part of the company anymore. While Jeff Hardy survived the budget cut releases, he received his marching orders after he turned down rehab following an incident at a house show.
