What’s the story?
Reby Hardy, also known as Queen Rebecca, has posted a video of her toddler son King Maxel wherein the latter is seen having a complete ‘mark out’ moment upon seeing his father Matt Hardy and uncle Jeff Hardy make their entrance on the most recent episode of Monday Night RAW.
In case you didn’t know...
Matt and Jeff Hardy returned to the WWE after a 7-year absence from the company, winning the RAW Tag-Team titles at Wrestlemania 33. The WWE fame of Matt and Jeff notwithstanding, the Hardy family that includes Reby and Maxel Hardy as well, have gotten wildly popular since last year, owing to their ‘Broken’ gimmick on Impact Wrestling.

Maxel, Reby as well as her father, who goes by the name Senor Benjamin, played a significant role in the on-screen programming of TNA/Impact Wrestling. The Hardys parted ways with Impact Wrestling earlier this year.
The heart of the matter:
Given the fact that Impact Wrestling’s new owners have issued a Cease and Desist order against the Hardys in regards to the Broken gimmick, and considering that Reby and Maxel play a significant part in the Broken gimmick, the mother-son duo hasn't appeared on WWE’s on-screen programming as of yet. Nevertheless, the current legal issues with Impact notwithstanding, Reby posts photographs and videos on social media of herself with King Maxel, whilst routinely referencing the Broken gimmick.
Nevertheless, King Maxel’s mark-out video is being touted by fans as somewhat of an anomaly, given the fact that His Highness is usually very calm and reserved by nature. Here’s the video with King Maxel going Gaga over the WWE entrance of his “Dada”-

What’s next?
Matt and Jeff Hardy will defend their WWE RAW Tag Team belts against the team of Cesaro and Sheamus at the upcoming Payback pay-per-view on April 30th. King Maxel and his mother Reby Hardy are yet to appear on WWE’s television programming; however, fans can expect them to appear in some capacity in the near future.
Author’s take:
I think we can unanimously agree on the fact that our reaction was somewhat similar to that of Maxel, when the Hardys’ music hit at Wrestlemania 33.
I’m really intrigued at the prospect of seeing the interviews this kid will give a few years down the line, when probed by reporters about his adorable videos as a kid. All Hail King Maxel!
