Matt Hardy reflected on Twitter about yesterday being the twenty-fifth anniversary of his WWE debut on Monday Night RAW.

Today is the 25 year anniversary of my 1st appearance in a @WWE ring. I was 18 & on a LIVE episode of #RAW against Nikolai Volkoff.

Jeff’s 20th year since signing a #WWE contract was commemorated.. Maybe @VinceMcMahon will surprise me with a 25 year celebration on #SDLive. https://t.co/3eO0oJ8l9l
