2. WWE’s presentation of Woken Matt Hardy
One of the loudest cheers on Monday night echoed through the arena when Bray Wyatt’s mumbling was interrupted by Matt Hardy. Yes, it was still Matt Hardy but there was something different. A weird cynical smile had spread across his face upon hearing Bray’s ominous warnings. Soon, he began to speak.
A different voice or rather, a different vocabulary soon engulfed us all as the Woken Matt Hardy began to speak. The segment began to alternate between Wyatt and Hardy and it was simply wonderful. The Matt Hardy who had the pro-wrestling world on his palm was back. He was equal parts captivating and charismatic. The Woken One was on point as well as rambling at the same time.
This was unlike anything else the WWE has ever done. Moreover, if the rumors are true, Hardy will have more creative control over the character and the same has been approved by Vince himself. That is good news for the fans. No one understands the character better than the one who created it. If Monday’s segment was any indication, the Woken Matt Hardy will be a huge success in the WWE. Now I just want the rest of the cast join in as well.
