At last night's Slammiversary pay-per-view, Matt and Jeff Hardy captured the TNA Tag Team Championship, but the real story unfolded after the match when they were confronted by a legendary rival. Bully Ray, known to WWE fans as Bubba Ray Dudley, came to the ring and challenged the new champions to one final, historic match. A Chaotic Ladder Match Victory The Hardys won the titles in a chaotic four-way ladder match at the July 20th event. The bout also featured the defending champions, The Nemeths (Nic and Ryan Nemeth), First Class, and The Rascalz. After all the standard ladders were destroyed, Jeff Hardy revealed a huge rope ladder, which he climbed to retrieve the belts and secure the victory for his team. This marks the fourth time The Hardy Boyz have held the TNA World Tag Team Championship. One Last Match After their victory celebration, Bully Ray came to the ring. He congratulated the new champions and reflected on their long and storied history together. He then laid down a challenge for TNA's biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory. Bully Ray pitched one final match between his team, Team 3D (The Dudley Boyz), and The Hardys.

Along with Edge and Christian (Adam Copeland and Christian Cage), these two teams revolutionized tag team wrestling during WWE's Attitude Era. Their creation of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) match produced some of the most iconic and death-defying moments in wrestling history, particularly their legendary bouts at WrestleMania 2000 and WrestleMania X-Seven. For over two decades, these three teams were inextricably linked. In a fascinating coincidence, this challenge comes just as AEW has begun to tease a potential reunion for Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. The unexpected re-emergence of these legendary rivalries has created a wave of excitement and nostalgia. It now appears that TNA's Bound For Glory will be the stage for the final, epic chapter between two of the greatest tag teams of all time. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports
