Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy made a surprise appearance via video promo on Tuesday’s WWE NXT to answer a challenge for next week’s episode.

After No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Borne threw down the gauntlet for The Hardy Boyz to face them on next week’s show, Matt and Jeff appeared via a video promo to answer the challenge, agreeing to face the NQCC duo.

The video promo was the first appearance on WWE TV by The Hardys since WWE and TNA officially announced their multi-year partnership. The Hardys currently hold TNA’s Tag Team titles, and hinted at a future match against NXT Tag champs Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) in their promo. That match was first teased at last month’s TNA Impact tapings in a social media post.

WWE’s chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque made a social media post on X to mark the occasion, noting that The Hardys had “re-defined” tag team wrestling for more than 25 years:

Two men who have re-defined tag-team wrestling for over 25 years. The Hardy Boyz have reached the pinnacle of our industry (and often jumped off of it) to the amazement of fans worldwide…

…and they return to a @WWE ring NEXT WEEK on #WWENXT in Cincinnati. https://t.co/v9wtwjLKCv pic.twitter.com/Koh1jhbx2m
