The Hardy Boyz Capture NXT Tag Titles at Showdown

(Orlando, Florida) – The Hardy Boyz, comprising Matt and Jeff Hardy, made history by winning the NXT Tag Team Title at the NXT Showdown on October 7. In an intense Winner Takes All Match, they faced off against the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, DarkState, and emerged victorious.

The match started with an aggressive display from DarkState, represented by Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin. They quickly established dominance, slamming Jeff Hardy and keeping him trapped, but the tides turned when ring enforcements were sent away. This led to the electrifying return of Hardy tactics as Jeff successfully executed a Whisper In The Wind, tagging in his brother Matt.

Matt’s powerful Side Effect and a DDT on Lennox flipped the momentum in favor of the Hardys. The climax of the match saw a Twist of Fate to Lennox followed by Jeff’s signature Swanton Bomb, securing the victory and crowning the Hardy Boyz as new champions.

In another highlight of the evening, Team NXT triumphed over Team TNA in a Women’s Survivor Series Style Elimination Match featuring Jacy Jayne, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and Jaida Parker. The match concluded with Jayne and Ruca securing the win, despite some close calls from TNA’s Kelani Jordan.

In a Men’s Survivor Series Style Match, Team TNA claimed victory over Team NXT after internal tensions saw TNA World Champion Trick Williams abandon his teammates mid-match, leaving Ricky Saints to face a daunting challenge solo.

The action-packed evening showcased the high stakes of the ongoing brand rivalry as both NXT and TNA vied for supremacy. The Hardy Boyz’ victory is a significant milestone, marking their dominance in both NXT and TNA territories. The thrilling encounters left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this fierce competition.
