The Hardy Boyz respond to Johnson replicating the legendary WWE duos celebration

WWE legends Jeff Hardy and brother Matt - AKA The Hardy Boyz - have responded after Brennan Johnson replicated their famous celebration after he scored the winner in Tottenham's weekend clash against Brighton.

Johnson completed a comeback victory for Spurs by scoring in the 96th-minute to hand the hosts three vital Premier League points against Roberto de Zerbi's side.

After firing in the stoppage time winner, Johnson ran off to the corner flag inside a bouncing Tottenham Hotspur stadium and recreated Hardy's famous hand gesture.

The celebration saw the Wales international show his left-hand with his ring finger and thumb tucked away and make a gun gesture with his other hand.

Speaking after full-time, Johnson revealed that Hardy was his favourite wrestling star and dedicated his celebration to him.

'And the celebration is actually, if anyone watches WWE, Jeff Hardy my favourite WWE superstar, so yeah that one's for him,' he said.

Now Jeff's wrestling AEW star brother Matt Hardy has responded by sharing an image of them producing the same celebration alongside a picture of Johnson.

At just 22-years-old, Johnson, like many, grew up in an era where the high-flying acrobatics of the Hardy brothers was one of WWE's most recognisable features.

Social media erupted at Hardy's response to Johnson, with the brothers now a fan of the Tottenham forward who joined the club from Nottingham Forest in the summer.

'The Hardy Boyz and my team Spurs never thought I’d see this crossover,' said one post on X.
