It has been announced that the Hardy Boyz will be competing side by side in March for the first time since April 2019.

Big Time Wrestling announced the reunion, confirming that Matt and Jeff will be teaming together on Sunday, March 12th. The brother’s haven’t wrestled as a team since April 2019 when they were both still with WWE.

At time of writing there is no news on who the legendary team will be facing.

The Hardy Boyz last teamed together on WWE television on the April 9th, 2019 episode of SmackDown where the defeated The Usos to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. However, they were forced to vacate the titles less than three weeks later, after Jeff sustained a knee injury.

When Jeff returned to action the pair went their separate ways on television with Matt eventually leaving the company in early March 2020 when his contract expired. By the end of the month he had joined AEW, where he still appears today.

Jeff Hardy remained with WWE for almost another two years, before being released on December 9th, 2021. At the time it was reported that Hardy’s departure was a result of him turning down rehab after a “rough night” at a live event. It was also noted that he had missed a number of signing appearances.

This naturally led to huge concern from fans and colleagues alike about the former World Champion’s health. However, Hardy has since been pictured looking healthy and feeling “very happy” at a recent meet and greet event.

Speaking later in December, Matt Hardy said that he hoped the pair would be able to end their careers as a team in AEW.
