Legendary WWE team set for first title match in 10+ years

A legendary WWE tag team is set for its first title match in over 10 years. They will face their longtime rivals in the Triple H-led regime.

Dudley Boyz are one of the most popular tag teams in the history of professional wrestling. They have wrestled for almost every major promotion under the sun and have won tag titles everywhere they went. Currently, D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley are getting ready to face the Hardy Boyz at Bound for Glory this year in what could be their final showdown against each other.

Tonight on NXT vs TNA Showdown, Matt and Jeff Hardy were set to compete against DarkState in a title vs. title match. Given that Bubba and D-Von are scheduled to face them soon for the TNA World Tag Team Championship, they were seated in the front row next to TNA President Carlos Silva. Matt and Jeff came out on top in their match against DarkState.

With this win, the Dudley Boyz will face The Hardy Boyz for both titles now. This will be their first televised WWE Title match in ten years. Their last televised WWE title bout took place at Hell in a Cell 2015 when they faced The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Titles.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
