Additionally, Ava announced that Darkstate will meet The Hardys in a title for title match. She said unlike the title for title match on the last episode of NXT, everyone will be barred from ringside and there must be a winner.

Tensions started to flare between the two promotions two weeks ago when it was announced that TNA Champion Trick Williams would face NXT Champion Oba Femi. TNA talent on social media sounded off, unhappy about TNA’s top championship being decided on NXT. On this week’s show, that frustration reached a boiling point when Williams struck Mike Santana, who was on commentary. The show ended with the TNA roster, who were watching in the crowd, entering the ring to brawl with NXT talent.

Here is the current card for NXT Invasion. The show ill be going head-to-head with AEW’s Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite:

NXT/TNA Invasion (October 7, CW)

  • TNA vs. NXT Survivor Series men’s match
  • TNA vs. NXT Survivor Series women’s match
  • Title for title: NXT Tag Team Champions Darkstate vs. TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys

Stipulation added to key match at TNA Bound for Glory

Note: The following is a spoiler for this Thursday’s TNA Impact.

For their final ever battle at October’s TNA Bound for Glory, The Hardys and Team 3D have raised the stakes.

First reported by ProWrestling.net’s Jason Powell via Wade Keller of PWTorch, the encounter between Matt & Jeff Hardy and Bully Ray & D-Von will not only be for the TNA World Tag Team titles but also a tables match.

The development occurred during Friday’s TV taping in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an in-ring segment billed as their “final negotiation.” Unlike when the match was first made at Slammiversary, D-Von was in attendance alongside Bully Ray.

It will be the first time the two teams have met since a House of Glory four-way in December 2016. Before that, the two teams feuded with The Wolves over the TNA tag titles in the fall of 2014. Their last straight-up tag match against each other took place in June of that same year. Their famed rivalry goes back to the fall of 1999 in WWE.

We are still looking for full results from the entire taping. Please send them to [email protected] if you were in attendance.

The Hardys are TNA Tag Team Champions once again, and already have challengers.

Matt and Jeff Hardy won the TNA Tag Team titles for a fourth time at Slammiversary, defeating The Rascalz, First Class, and champions Nic and Ryan Nemeth in a four-way ladder match to win the titles. 

The finish had all ladders in the match being used and destroyed, leading Jeff to exit the ring and grab a switch, pressing a button. It was then that a rope-style ladder fell from the rafters. After The Hardys laid out the Nemeths with stereo twists of fate with chairs wrapped around their necks, Jeff climbed up the ladder and grabbed the titles to end the match.

As the Hardys were celebrating their win, Bully Ray made his entrance and congratulated Matt and Jeff on their title victory. He pointed out their history with tables matches, mentioning their 2000 Royal Rumble match. He then pitched one last match between Team 3D and The Hardys at Bound For Glory. After fans asked for D-Von, who was not at Slammiversary, Bully Ray said that was a great question and ended the segment by saying Bound For Glory will be the last time he asks D-Von to get the tables.

Bound for Glory was later announced for October 12 in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Nic & Ryan Nemeth win Tag Team titles at TNA Rebellion

New TNA Tag Team Champions were crowned at Rebellion.

Nic & Ryan Nemeth bested The Hardyz to win the titles for the first time on Sunday. The finish had Ryan taking out Matt Hardy by slamming him onto a unfolded chair at ringside. Nic then followed that by giving Jeff Hardy the Danger Zone, allowing him to score the pinfall victory.

After their title win, Ryan Nemeth in a web exclusive said he and his brother proved who the best brother tag team is. Nic said it didn’t matter how many t-shirts the Hardys sold, they proved that they are the best and the Hardys don’t have it anymore.

Back at Sacrifice, The Nic Nemeth isolated Matt Hardy and attacked him following a ten-man steel cage match they were both part of, bloodying him with a steel chair. On the most recent episode of Impact, the Nemeths were invited to the Hardy Compound. Despite being at a disadvantage, they managed to leave the Hardy estate in possession of the TNA Tag Team titles, which they wore to the ring on Sunday.

The Hardys win Tag Team titles at TNA Bound for Glory

The Hardys are TNA Tag Team Champions.

Matt & Jeff Hardy survived Full Metal Mayhem in the main event of Saturday’s TNA Bound for Glory event in Detroit, Michigan. The finish saw Eddie Edwards of The System attempt to climb the ladder, only to be met by steel chairs by the Hardys. They then took him out with a powerbomb out of the ring and onto tables on the outside as Matt & Jeff climbed up and grabbed the titles, ending Bound for Glory on a positive note as the new champions.

Saturday’s Full Metal Mayhem match consisted of The Hardys, The System (Edwards & Brian Meyers), and ABC (Chris Bey and Ace Austin). The match featured homages from similar matches in The Hardys’ career, including Meyers jumping off a ladder and spearing Chris Bey as well as Jeff Hardy hitting a swanton bomb on Meyers off a ladder and through tables.

This is the third time that the Hardys have won the TNA Tag Team titles. They last won the titles at Bound for Glory back in 2016.
