SouthernWorldwide.com – Jeff Hardy, at 48 years old, recaptured his signature high-flying style with a spectacular ladder dive, leading The Hardys to victory and securing the TNA Tag Team Championship at the Slammiversary event.
Throughout their illustrious careers, the Hardy Boyz have frequently utilized ladders as a crucial element in capturing numerous tag team championships. This strategy proved essential once again at this year’s Slammiversary.
In professional wrestling, the use of a ladder inherently carries the risk of dangerous situations. However, when a Hardy brother ascends a ladder, the entire professional wrestling fanbase anticipates an elevated level of danger and excitement. Jeff Hardy, defying his age, turned back the clock on Sunday night during a thrilling four-way ladder match. The competition also featured the formidable pairings of Bear Bronson and Brian Myers, Jason Hotch and John Skyler, as well as Vincent and Dutch.
Matt Hardy ingeniously positioned Hotch and Skyler between a ladder that had been wedged between the ringside barricade and the ring apron. Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy seized a ladder that had been brought into the fray by Vincent and Dutch. Demonstrating his enduring agility at 48 years old, Jeff climbed to the apex of the ladder and executed his iconic Swanton Bomb.
Following this breathtaking maneuver, The Hardys proceeded to the ladder positioned in the center of the ring. They retrieved the TNA World Tag Team Championship belts, thereby clinching the victory in the intense match.
This triumph marks the fifth tag team championship reign for The Hardys within TNA. This achievement places them in a tie with Beer Money Inc. and The Wolves for the most reigns in TNA history. It is also their second championship run within the past twelve months.
The Hardys initially captured the title at last year’s Slammiversary event. They held onto the championship belts for an impressive 265 days before relinquishing them to Myers and Bronson at the Rebellion event earlier this year. Nevertheless, The Hardys have once again ascended to the top of the tag team division.
Bronson and Myers, their predecessors as champions, held the titles for a period of 78 days.
