Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Hardy Boyz are once again at the top of the TNA tag team division. 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. He hinted that it would be the last time he and his partner, D-Von Dudley, would ever team up, noting it would be the last time he asks D-Von to "get the tables."

PHILIPPE HUGUEN/AFP/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation The Final Chapter Of A Legendary Rivalry A final match between The Hardys and The Dudley Boyz would be the end of an era. 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

The Hardy Boyz Explain What Went Wrong With Their AEW Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Hardy Boyz have opened up about their recent run with AEW. In a new interview with Ariel Helwani, Jeff Hardy took full responsibility for the team's run not meeting expectations. Jeff cited his personal issues and legal troubles as the main reason for their struggles. He believes those problems prevented them from getting a fair chance in the company. Jeff Hardy Takes The Blame Jeff Hardy was candid about his time in AEW. He feels he never had a chance to redeem himself after his arrest. "I just don't think we ever had a fair chance because of that," Jeff said. "So I blame myself all the time." He stated he understood why AEW might not have wanted to trust him. "I was, 'Oh, God, they can't trust me. I'm just a liability,'" he explained. Matt Hardy On Missed Opportunities Matt Hardy gave his perspective on the situation. He felt that his brother did a good job of proving himself after he returned. Matt also expressed disappointment that AEW didn't capitalize on having all four "TLC legends" (himself, Jeff, Adam Copeland, and Christian Cage) in the company at the same time.

"But, yeah, it didn't happen." He spoke highly of Tony Khan as a person and a boss. However, he noted that Khan has a specific "style and choice of wrestling that he likes to see." More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation The Hardy Boyz have had multiple, impactful runs in TNA Wrestling. Jeff Hardy found major singles success, becoming a three-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Matt Hardy famously reinvented himself with his "Broken" character, a creative phenomenon that took the wrestling world by storm and led to cinematic matches like "The Final Deletion." Together, they also captured the TNA World Tag Team Championship on three separate occasions, most recently in 2024. Years later, they reunited in AEW in 2022, immediately entering a dream feud with The Young Bucks, whom they defeated at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view. However, their AEW run was quickly derailed by Jeff's legal issues and subsequent suspension, from which they never fully recovered their momentum. Despite the initial excitement, their time in AEW was marked by inconsistent booking and injuries before both departed the company. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Egor Demin Nears NBA Dream Amid Political Turmoil With Home Country
Egor Demin Nears NBA Dream Amid Political Turmoil With Home Country originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In three weeks, former BYU point guard Egor Demin is expected to hear his name called in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. But as the 19-year-old prepares for the life-changing moment at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, controversy looms from his home country of Russia. Advertisement On Tuesday, The Moscow Times reported that Russia's Ministry of Justice added Brigham Young University to its list of 'undesirable' organizations. The rare designation carries criminal penalties for any Russian nationals affiliated with such groups. Under Russian law, this could put Demin at legal risk if he returns to home. Despite the news, Demin remains closely tied to BYU. The Moscow Times report left BYU faculty stunned, including Jeff Hardy, a professor specializing in Soviet history. 'Complete shock,' Hardy told Sam Foster of BYU's Universe Sports. 'This appeared to come out of nowhere." Experts speculate the blacklisting may be linked to a February panel at BYU titled 'Russia as a Global Threat,' hosted by a U.S. State Department official. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which sponsors BYU, was not named on the list, according to the report from Foster. The Russian government has not explained why BYU was blacklisted, and the school has not released an official response.

Many NBA Draft analysts have said that Demin 'looked great' during the NBA Combine and may be peaking at the right time. Demin, who helped lead BYU to the Sweet 16, is praised for his rare size and elite passing but must prove his shooting can be consistent. Despite political tensions, Demin continues to publicly embrace BYU. He still lists '@byumbb' in his Instagram bio and has expressed intentions to finish his degree with the university in the future. During an April interview, he said, 'I was coming here with faith, and I am leaving with a bigger faith.'

Whether Commissioner Adam Silver utters 'BYU' on draft night may hold more significance than anyone expected.
