NXT Tag Team titles to be defended at TNA Bound for Glory

A date has already been set for Matt & Jeff Hardy’s first NXT Tag Team title defense.

TNA has announced that The Hardys vs. Dudleys at Bound for Glory this Sunday will now be for both the TNA and NXT Tag Team title belts. The bout — which is a tables match — is being promoted as the last time the Attitude Era rivals will ever face each other.

Matt & Jeff Hardy were already the TNA Tag Team Champions going into last night’s NXT vs. TNA Showdown special. They added the NXT belts to their collection with a victory over Dion Lennox & Osiris Griffin of DarkState. Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley watched the match from the front row — and they stared The Hardys down after it was over.

This is the first time Matt & Jeff Hardy have ever held the NXT Tag Team titles. They’re on their fourth reign as TNA tag champs, having won the belts at Slammiversary this July.

The Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts is hosting Bound for Glory, which is traditionally TNA’s biggest event of the year. Trick Williams vs. Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship will headline the pay-per-view.
