TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys will compete on the February 25th episode of WWE NXT, and new reports suggest that the match won’t be a one-off.
As part of TNA’s partnership with WWE, Matt and Jeff Hardy will face No Quarter Catch Crew on Tuesday’s show. This will mark their first match in WWE since they left the company in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Fans started buzzing even more ahead of the show, as WWE released a new Hardy Boyz shirt on WWE Shop, with some hoping it could be a hint that more appearances will come.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reports that The Hardys are under contract until “late this year” with TNA. However, WWE sources think they will make “some more appearances” in the company.

Matt Hardy On Jeff Hardy Returning To WWE
Matt Hardy discussed The Hardys returning to WWE on his The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast. He made it clear that going back to the company meant a lot to Jeff.
“He’s very happy to be going back,” Matt Hardy said. “And I feel like he wants to right the wrongs. He wants to leave on a good note, no more erratic behavior. You know, he wants to go back and show them who he is. And I think one of the reasons, even with this whole exchange going on. I think one of the reasons they probably waited a little while to pull the trigger and do something with Jeff and I was just to kind of see where Jeff was. Just make sure Jeff is good.
“And anybody who’s been here with TNA, they can’t go without talking about how incredible and professional of a performer Jeff has been. Especially with us when we do these marathon post-show meet and greets, how we’re just kind to everybody. We’re happy to be there, we’re just happy to be doing we’re doing, man.
“We’re blessed to still be doing this 33 years into the journey. And those words spread. Even when we were doing the signing at Wrestlecon, and we changed the flight to an hour and a half later so we could finish those last 100 and change who had waited four or five hours to see us. I mean, that stuff builds equity. And word spreads, man. Word of mouth gets around. I think that’s attributed to and it helped lead and it has attributed to a lot of our success and our popularity among people, as well because they’ve heard these great experiences about us.”
