  • Ian Carey

WWE is optimistic that Matt and Jeff Hardy will have a main roster run in the coming months.

The current TNA World Tag Team Champions are set to wrestle No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Borne on tonight’s episode of NXT, marking their first time teaming in WWE since 2019. The match is part of the ongoing partnership between WWE and TNA.

WWEShop.com has released a special edition Hardy Boyz t-shirt ahead of their return, labeled a “special event item.”

According to WrestleVotes on Tuesday, WWE’s new Hardy Boyz merchandise could signal the start of a bigger plan. Officials are optimistic that the brothers will wrestle on Raw or SmackDown in the coming months:

“WWE has dropped a brand new Hardy Boyz shirt ahead of their NXT return tonight. Internally, there’s buzz that this is just the beginning, with creative sources optimistic the legendary duo will have a main roster program sometime this spring / summer.”

Matt and Jeff Hardy appeared via video on NXT last week. On his podcast, Matt revealed the deal came together at the last minute:

“All this stuff — even us popping up and responding to that challenge on NXT, that was a very last-minute thing,” Hardy said. “So it’s going to be interesting. It’s going to be fun. I don’t know where this ride’s going. I really don’t want to know where this route is going in all capacities. Because I want, especially whatever we end up doing, I want everything to be as natural and as organic and as real as possible, as authentic as possible.”

The Hardys are also scheduled for this week’s TNA Impact, which was taped last week at Full Sail University. They will team with NXT Champion Oba Femi against The System’s Moose, Eddie Edwards, and Brian Myers.
