Today is WWE star Matt Hardy's birthday, and the former Tag Team Champion has posted a new video on Twitter featuring George the Giraffe, and during the video, Hardy teased "freeing the delete" which could foreshadow a return of Hardy's Broken or Woken persona to WWE TV.

Matt Hardy's Woken persona has created some classic moments on WWE TV, and no moment might be more climactic than Hardy's battle against Bray Wyatt in the Ultimate Deletion match which took place at The Hardy Compound in North Carolina. The match featured appearances from Brother Nero, aka Jeff Hardy, Reby Sky, Senor Benjamin, and Matt Hardy's trusty drone Vanguard1.

With Matt Hardy's character status currently in flux, let's take a look at 5 matches that must take place at The Hardy Compound should Woken Matt Hardy make his return to WWE TV!

#5 R-Truth

R-Truth is currently the centrepiece of the 24/7 Title picture, having won the belt a record 17 times since the title's inception back in May of this year.

Should Matt Hardy return to WWE TV as Woken Matt Hardy, the former Tag Team Champion could have a great and entertaining feud with R-Truth for the WWE 24/7 Title.

It would be a lot of fun to see R-Truth step into The Hardy Compound for a match which could be as entertaining as it is physical.

During The Ultimate Deletion bout, Matt Hardy used several household items, including his lawnmower, as offensive weapons, and the possibilities are endless as it pertains to R-Truth trying his hand at some type of Compound match with the WWE 24/7 Title on the line.

In the past, the Hardy Compound matches have featured a great mix of comedy and drama, and both Matt Hardy and R-Truth are two talented Superstars who could pull off a memorable Compound match.

#4 Aleister Black

WWE SmackDown Live star Aleister Black has been on a dark mission for some competition since arriving on the main roster in WWE, and a feud with Matt Hardy could be a really great idea for the enigmatic main roster rookie.

Black has been a force to be reckoned with in WWE since his arrival in NXT, holding the NXT title and boasting a very impressive win/loss record in both NXT and on the main roster.

With Black actively looking for a longterm main roster feud, it might be fun to see Matt Hardy return to TV in his Woken or Broken state, as a heel, and take up a program with Aleister Black.

The feud could culminate in a match between Black and Hardy at The Hardy Compound and could be similar in tone to the Ultimate Deletion match.

WWE fans felt that Bray Wyatt's character was a natural fit for a feud against Matt Hardy, and Aleister Black's character could also compliment the Woken Matt Hardy character and provide for an excellent series of matches leading up to a bout at The Hardy Compound. Black and Hardy could exchange some excellent promos leading up to the big Compound fight, and Black might provide some tricks of his own to combat Hardy.

#3 Baron Corbin

Following the finals of this year's WWE King of the Ring tournament, a new King has officially been crowned as Baron Corbin was able to defeat Chad Gable in the tournament finals.

It looks like one of King Corbin's first feuds since winning King of the Ring will be against his finals opponent Chad Gable, and it remains unknown how long the feud will last.

Rumors emerged this week suggesting that Vince McMahon is high on the idea of giving Chad Gable a decent sized push, so Gable vs Corbin might be a feud that plays out in the coming weeks and/or months.

When the Corbin vs Gable feud concludes, it might be a fun idea to put The King in a feud with Matt Hardy, and the two could battle over each other's Kingdoms. For Hardy, his Compound would be his kingdom, and the two could potentially fight to determine who the true King is in WWE.

Putting Baron Corbin in a match against Matt Hardy at the Compound could really help build Corbin's budding top heel character, and could also solidify Matt Hardy as a top level player in what might be Hardy's final run in WWE.

#2 The Demon Finn Balor

Woken Matt Hardy vs. The Demon Finn Balor seems like a match made in heaven, as the two characters could provide some very eccentric storytelling which could lead up to a match at The Hardy Compound.

Most recently, Finn Balor lost a quick match to The Fiend at WWE SummerSlam, and the match loss was done as a way to write Balor off TV for a couple of months while he takes a much-needed vacation from WWE and the road.

When Balor returns, it might be a great idea to have him return as The Demon in a bizarre feud with Matt Hardy as his Woken or Broken persona.

Matches such as The Final Deletion, which took place in TNA, and The Ultimate Deletion, which took place in WWE, always carried a very creepy vibe, and the creepiness of the match type at The Hardy Compound could be a great showcase for the creepiness of the Demon Finn Balor persona.

Finn Balor should be poised to make an impact upon returning to WWE TV, and the return alongside Matt Hardy could give SmackDown Live a big roster boost heading into SmackDown's move to FOX Sports.

#1 Luke Harper

Another name who has made a big impact on WWE TV in recent weeks is Luke Harper, who returned to television after a lengthy absence due to injury.

After returning to TV at the WWE Clash of Champions PPV, it looks like Luke Harper will be reuniting with his former Wyatt Family member and Bludgeon Brother, Erick Rowan, and the two have wreaked havoc on both Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, the former partner of Rowan.

Following a rumored tag team match which might pit Rowan and Harper against Reigns and Bryan, it might be a good idea to have Luke Harper begin a singles feud with Matt Hardy.

Being a former Wyatt Family member, Luke Harper could have a greatly entertaining, bizarre and physical feud with Matt Hardy which could culminate in another classic bout at The Hardy Compound. Would Erick Rowan assist his partner Harper in a feud against Matt Hardy? If so, Matt's brother Jeff, who is due to be returning from injury in the coming months, could make a surprise appearance as Willow to help his brother Matt.
