New double champions crowned at WWE NXT vs. TNA Showdown

The Hardy Boyz are NXT Tag Team Champions.

Matt and Jeff captured became double champions in the opening match of NXT vs. TNA Showdown on Tuesday, defeating DarkState members Osiris Griffin and Dion Lennox to become NXT Tag Team Champions and retaining the TNA Tag Team titles. The finish had Matt hitting the twist of fate on both men as Jeff went to the top rope and connected with the swanton bomb, pinning Lennox to win the titles.

The other two members of DarkState, Saquon Shugars and Cutler James, attempted to interfere before the match started. However, they were sent ouf of the ring by the Hardyz and the referee threw them out. When announcing the match last week, NXT General Manager Ava said there would be no interference in the match and there must be a winner.

The Hardyz are now set to face The Dudley Boyz/Team 3D at Bound for Glory in a tables match. Bubba Ray and D-Von were both in the crowd on Tuesday, and the two legendary teams had a staredown after the match.

DarkState had been champions for 45 days, defeating Hank & Tank at NXT Heatwave on August 24. The Hardys have been TNA Tag Team Champions since July 20 after winning a four-way ladder match at Slammiversary.
