Matt and Jeff Hardy Win Raw Tag Team Title at WWE WrestleMania 33

Matt and Jeff Hardy became seven-time tag team champions after they won the Raw tag team championships at WrestleMania 33 on Sunday, beating the teams of Cesaro and Sheamus, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and Enzo and Big Cass.

Matt delivered a Twist of Fate to Anderson from the top of the ladder, while Jeff hit a Swanton Bomb on Sheamus and Cesaro, who were on top of two ladders laying across the ring apron and outside the barricade.

Matt recovered enough to climb to the top of the ladder and grab the titles.

Matt and Jeff Hardy are enjoying a renaissance off the back of Matt's "Broken" character from Impact Wrestling. Yahoo Sports' Greg Wyshynski thought explaining the Hardys' exploits over the past few years might be difficult:

The Hardys' victory was a complete surprise, as they were a late inclusion in Sunday's match.

The Good Brothers beat Cesaro and Sheamus for the titles two months ago on the Royal Rumble Kickoff, which set the wheels in motion for two of Raw's most popular tag teams to vie for the opportunity to win gold at WrestleMania.

Cesaro and Sheamus fell short in their bid to recapture the Tag Team Championships on Raw due to a distraction by Enzo and Cass, and that created a dilemma with regard to which team would emerge as the No. 1 contender.

After Cesaro and Sheamus cost Enzo and Cass an opportunity to win the titles in similar fashion, the duos were pitted against each other in a match on Raw, with the winners going on to face Gallows and Anderson at WrestleMania.

That bout was interrupted by Gallows and Anderson, however, causing a no-contest.

The Club thought that meant they'd have no match at WrestleMania, but Raw general manager Mick Foley threw a wrench in their plans by instead forcing them to face both Enzo and Cass as well as Cesaro and Sheamus.

Despite the odds being stacked against them, Gallows and Anderson remained supremely confident entering The Showcase of Immortals, as evidenced by this tweet courtesy of Gallows:

They did have one more opportunity to swing the situation back in their favor, though, as Raw commissioner Stephanie McMahon forced Cesaro and Sheamus to face Gallows and Anderson as well as Enzo and Cass in a handicap match to maintain their spot in the WrestleMania match.

That decision was handed down after Foley—who was an ardent supporter of Cesaro and Sheamus—was fired by Steph.

Gallows and Anderson were unable to coexist with Enzo and Big Cass, and despite the numbers disadvantage, Cesaro and Sheamus were able to prevail and keep their title hopes alive.

Following the victory, the Celtic Warrior made it clear that Foley's ouster was a motivating factor behind their drive to take back the Raw Tag Team Championships:

It can be argued that Raw's tag division has taken a step back in terms of importance and intrigue since New Day broke the title reign record and dropped the belts shortly thereafter.

That's no longer the case with the Hardy Boyz back in WWE. Their return brings another level of credibility to the tag division and gives the company one of the top tag teams in the world.

Matt and Jeff proved with their Impact Wrestling run that they can create captivating stories, and it will be interesting to see if their unique personas will be coming with them to WWE.
