The Hardy Boyz have set their sights on the NXT Tag Team Championship following their victory at NXT Roadblock. Matt and Jeff Hardy defeated current NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer and Axiom in a match where only the Hardys’ TNA World Tag Team Championship was on the line.
The win has positioned the legendary tag team to challenge for the NXT gold. In a post-match interview released by WWE, Jeff Hardy expressed interest in pursuing the NXT championship.
I think I have a statement and a question. Their human hearts are more like rocket boosters, that’s the fastest team I’ve ever been in the ring with. And my question is, do we get a shot at the NXT Tag Titles now?
Matt Hardy echoed his brother’s sentiments while complimenting their opponents’ abilities in the ring. The veteran performer noted the significance of potentially adding the NXT titles to their extensive championship collection.
I was gonna say. They’re incredible. I cannot put them over enough, they are amazing and they are the NXT Tag Team Champions for very specific reasons, because they’re incredible. But tonight we were defending the TNA World Tag Team Titles and we were able to retain them, but we did beat them. Unfortunately the NXT titles weren’t on the line. Maybe next time, the NXT titles will be on the line, because that is something the Hardys do not have on their list of gold.
The interviewer, Sarah Schreiber, mentioned that the brothers would need to speak with NXT General Manager Ava to arrange the championship match. This potential title bout would need to be scheduled around the Hardys’ existing commitments.
Both Matt and Jeff already have matches scheduled for this week’s TNA Sacrifice event. Jeff will face Moose in a ladder match for the TNA X-Division Championship.
Matt will compete in a 10-man tag team contest alongside Joe Hendry, Elijah, Nic Nemeth and Leon Slater against JDC, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Eddie Colón and Orlando Colón.
Given these commitments, the logical destination for an NXT Tag Team Championship match would be the NXT Stand & Deliver premium live event during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas.
WWE has not yet made any official announcement regarding when the potential NXT Tag Team Championship match might take place.
