Former WWE Superstar Matt Hardy has taken to social media to question why he has been omitted from a list of WrestleMania crowd reactions.

In 2017, The Hardy Boyz received a loud reception from WWE fans when they made their long-awaited return at WrestleMania 33. Writing on Twitter, Matt Hardy called out WWE for not including the moment in a video containing the top 10 loudest reactions at WrestleMania events.

For everyone who’s tweeted me, our WM33 return isn’t included because I’m now at @AEW. I’ve always felt it’s a damaging practice to selectively revise history with diehard fans. You tell me, should our WM33 return be on this list? pic.twitter.com/qtyO3Bqjcr https://t.co/lGDXUSoRGe

As the video above shows, WrestleMania 33 hosts The New Day introduced Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy as surprise participants in a ladder match. The returning duo defeated Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows, Cesaro & Sheamus, and Big Cass & Enzo Amore to become RAW Tag Team Champions.

Four years on from the famous moment, Jeff Hardy currently performs as a member of the WWE RAW roster. Matt Hardy joined AEW in March 2020 after his WWE contract expired.

Should Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy’s return feature in the top 10?
