Matt Hardy's controversial loss

Ricochet pinned Hardy with a roll-up by blocking a Twist of Fate from The Sensei of Mattitude. The referee did the three-count but there was confusion surrounding the count. After the referee confirmed that it indeed was a three-count, Hardy left the ring and was visibly upset.

This irked the fans in attendance as ever since Hardy made his return, he has been on a losing streak. It remains to be seen if Hardy will rebound with victories in the future.
