Hardy said he has done a lot of soul searching over the last several months and now that he’s healthy, he realizes he has a lot left to do in WWE. At that point, he was interrupted by Baron Corbin.
Corbin said that he nobody is excited for his return and a lot has changed since he’s been back. Corbin said that he runs the show, and asked Hardy what he could even have planned for tonight? Corbin then mocked Hardy over his well publicized DUI arrest by saying that he could try to walk in a straight line or say the alphabet backwards. He then suggested he shut his eyes and take the tip of his finger and try to touch the tip of his nose.
Hardy said he was surprised that Corbin didn’t know that he (Hardy) has a big match tonight. Corbin asked who it is against, to which Hardy predictably told him “you.”
Oh, you haven’t heard?
