Big E and Matt Hardy Exchange Words On Twitter
When a fan asked Matt Hardy on Twitter whether he and Jeff could come back to WWE to “take care of the New Day” a Twitter beef nearly erupted between him and Big E.
Are they the guys that wear strap-ons on their head? That's not ICONIC. https://t.co/OXDBkyQTSV

Big E responded to the TNA Champ, calling his comments childish. Hardy soon back-peddled.
To each his own. Twitter wrestling beef between people who work for different companies is childish. Be well. https://t.co/8Qz6TyBz4H

To be fair Twitter is a weird place for wrestlers. It’s hard enough for regular members of the public to read between the lines, but these guys flip between playing their characters and then being serious at the drop of a hat. Big E. seems genuinely irked by Matt’s original Tweet, but they soon found common ground.
This has been my most civil interaction on Twitter. Are we supposed to hug now? https://t.co/bxrkgjAPn9
