Following last year’s Against All Odds event, Matt and Jeff continued to work for TNA under a pair of handshake agreements. That dynamic eventually changed in November as the legendary tag team partners each inked an official one-deal that extends through December 2025.

In the present day, Matt and Jeff reign as the TNA World Tag Team Champions, set to defend their titles against their famous rivals, The Dudley Boyz, at Bound For Glory on October 12. When asked about how their current, and fourth, TNA tag title reign translates to the overall Hardy Boyz legacy, Matt emphasized it as significant.

“We are really working hard to cement our legacy,” Matt said. “Even coming in to TNA and being together as a team, we just wanted to show how we could contribute. We wanted to also show how we could be selfless and help young teams and try and build young teams and give them a rub and let people who may know us from being on TV now for 27 years. I know the Hardys, but they discover The Rascalz or they discover a First Class or whoever it may be. It’s been great. They put us in a position to succeed. We feel valuable, and that’s really important at this stage of the game for us.”

Jeff echoed Matt’s sentiments, noting his appreciation for feeling like a valuable asset once again. In the grand scheme of things, though, Jeff too aims to bring a spotlight to the younger talents on the TNA roster, such as X-Division Champion Leon Slater.
