Matt Hardy Returns On Tonight's WWE RAW (Video)
Matt Hardy returned to the ring on tonight's WWE RAW episode. He lost to Buddy Murphy in singles action.
Murphy dominated the match and easily won, which was a setup for his post-match angle with Aleister Black. Murphy called out Black for a fight but Black got the upperhand and sent him packing.
Matt has been out of regular action since brother Jeff Hardy went down with a knee injury after WrestleMania 35, when they were forced to drop the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. Matt did work the big 50-Man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia this past June.
There's no word yet on if Matt will be a regular on RAW, but he is still listed on the SmackDown roster as of this writing. This was Matt's first red brand match of 2019.
Below are a few shots from Murphy vs. Hardy at the Allstate Arena near Chicago:
