Social media was delighted to see one of the most popular tag teams from the late 1990s and early 2000s reunite once again. After all, Matt Hardy had teased retirement as recently as just a few months ago. WWE noted this was the first time the pair had won a tag team match on SmackDown since 2009.
Pretty cool to see the Hardy Boyz reunite once again in North Carolina. As a Carolina boy and lifelong Hardy fan, this is a pretty cool moment. #SDLive
