The Hardy Boyz returned to WWE at WWE WrestleMania 33. There, they won the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. But when The Hardy Boyz initially signed their new WWE contract, they informed the company that they still had several independent dates to fulfill.
One of these dates was the House of Hardcore show in Philadelphia in April 2017. The Hardy Boyz were scheduled to face Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer. But WWE officials originally refused to allow them to be part of the show. Eventually, as reported by PWInsider, WWE compromised during a meeting with the brothers. The Hardy Boyz were allowed to attend the event, though they couldn't wrestle.

Dreamer then reached out to The Young Bucks. There was an angle planned between the two teams. But when one of The Young Bucks fell ill on the day of the show, Dreamer reached out to The Hardy Boyz again.
This time, the request went to the top of the ladder. Triple H and Vince McMahon finally signed off on the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions wrestling at the event.
