– Below is backstage video of new WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy talking to Mike Rome after his big win over Jinder Mahal on last night’s Superstar Shakeup RAW episode.
As noted, Jinder will get his rematch at the April 27th Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. The winner of that match will then defend against Randy Orton at the May 6th Backlash pay-per-view.
Jeff says he just came back from an injury and his brother Matt Hardy is so “woken” that he’s kind of out of control, so it feels good to just be Jeff Hardy and reunite with his fans as The Charismatic Enigma, which he’s best as. Jeff is excited about going to Saudi Arabia as the United States Champion and says that’s good for the both of them. Jeff says he’s up for the challenge as he beat Jinder once and can beat him again, and to beat him in Saudi Arabia would be a bizarre dream come true.
– It looks like Apollo Crews might have a last name again. WWE dropped his last name in February after a 19 year-old named Nikolas Cruz killed 17 students and teachers with an AR-15 rifle in Parkland, Florida. WWE changed Crews’ profile on WWE.com to simply “Apollo”, and his social media accounts were updated to reflect the change. However, his profile on WWE.com now once again reads “Apollo Crews.”
– Below is backstage video of new RAW Superstar Mojo Rawley after being sent from SmackDown in the Superstar Shakeup last night. Mojo rants about how he received no opportunities on the blue brand and says someone has finally noticed what he can bring to the table. Mojo says he’s the best combination of speed, strength and intelligence that WWE has ever seen, and that’s why this is Monday Night Rawley from here on out.
