Team Extreme is back in WWE, and they're now seven-time Tag Team Champions.
"Delightful!"
In a shocking turn of events, Matt and Jeff Hardy made their triumphant returns to WWE on Sunday at WrestleMania 33, joining Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Cesaro and Sheamus, and Enzo Amore and Big Cass in a ladder match for the Raw belts.
The New Day, the hosts of WrestleMania, came out to announce that a fourth team was being added to what had been originally billed as a triple threat, and teased it would be them. However, The Hardyz emerged shortly thereafter to steal their thunder, as well as their spot in the match.
There's no risk Jeff won't take in an atmosphere like this, with the former three-time world champion ascending a painter's ladder to come crashing down on Cesaro and Sheamus with his finisher, the Swanton Bomb.

Proven masters when it comes to effectively utilizing ladders, the sibling tandem solidified their return moments later, when Matt pulled down the straps hanging high above the ring to emerge victorious.
