The RAW after WrestleMania always presents some huge surprises, and tonight (Mon. April 9, 2018) has been no different thus far.
During newly-crowned Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins’ celebration, Finn Balor came out to interrupt the festivities. Balor intended to challenge Rollins for the title before The Miz came out to invoke his rematch clause at the upcoming Backlash pay-per-view (PPV).
The Miz and his Miztourage (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas) then threatened a 3-on-2 brawl against Rollins and Balor. Just before anything happened, former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy’s music hit and he came to Rollins and Balor’s aid:

Hardy has been out-of-action since September when he suffered a torn rotator cuff and shoulder labrum. He was initially given a six month recovery time and announced at the Hall Of Fame Ceremony this past Saturday that he’d been cleared to wrestle.
