WWE fans awestruck as Hardy Boyz make history by ending 23-year run
They did it!
The Hardy Boyz made WWE history on Tuesday night during NXT and TNA Wrestling’s ShowDown event.
Matt and Jeff Hardy captured the NXT Tag Team Championships against DarkState during the two companys’ first collaborative event on this week’s NXT broadcast.
As well as their first taste of WWE gold together since 2019, the brothers are the first wrestlers to hold a WWE title while under contract with TNA.
It’s also the first time the duo have won the NXT tag titles, making them the only team in history to capture championships in WCW, Ring of Honor, TNA, WWE and NXT.
After the show, Matt wrote on X: ‘Thank you to all the dieHARDYs that have always believed in me & Jeff. YOU FUEL US. #WWE #WWENXT’
He also retweeted a post laying out the resume of the Hardy Boyz, including their WWF/WWE World Tag Team Titles and the Raw and SmackDown iterations, alongside the gold they held in WCW, TNA, ROH and now NXT.
