The 2020 WWE draft is upon us and the excitement levels are already building. This is the most unpredictable time of the year as brands, storylines, and fortunes of many WWE superstars will change.
Matt Riddle seems very nervous as his first-ever draft approaches. The SmackDown Superstar recently shared an emotional tweet, speaking about his love for the Hardy Boyz and his dream to form a tag team with Jeff Hardy.
Bro with the draft coming up, I’m not sure where I’m gonna end up but I’d love to team up with Jeff Hardy before I find out. I was a huge Hardy Boyz fan growing up pic.twitter.com/6AuMEfIrrb
