As noted yesterday, Jeff Hardy and Jaxson Ryker were part of the group of wrestlers chasing Reggie around ringside during the WWE 24/7 Championship segment, which is usually reserved for wrestlers that are generally not used and slotted as part of the lower part of the card.
The social media backlash began immediately with fans upset over how Hardy was booked for such a throw-away segment.
AEW star Matt Hardy took to Twitter this morning and commented on his brother being a top trend. Matt re-posted a birthday post he made for Jeff back on August 31 and said we all want the best for him.
“Gonna RT this Jeff Hardy birthday post because he’s trending on Twitter.. Cuz Brother Nero is universally loved & we all want the best for him,” Matt wrote.
Hardy has not been seen on RAW since his loss to Karrion Kross on the August 16 episode, which came after a loss to Kross on the August 9 show, and a win over Kross on the July 19 RAW. Hardy worked the August 26 edition of WWE Main Event with a win over Benjamin, and then defeated Cedric Alexander on last week’s Main Event.
Stay tuned for more. You can see a clip from last night’s RAW segment below, along with Matt’s full tweet:
