The '''Hardy Boyz''' are a [[professional wrestling]] [[tag team]] consisting of brothers [[Jeff Hardy]] and [[Matt Hardy]]. They are currently signed to [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA), where they are the reigning [[TNA World Tag Team Championship|TNA World Tag Team Champions]] in their [[List of TNA World Tag Team Champions|fourth reign]].
The Hardy brothers began teaming together in 1995 on the [[independent circuit]], where they won the NWA 2000 Tag Team Championship and founded [[OMEGA Championship Wrestling]], capturing the promotion’s tag titles. In 1997, they signed with the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF, now WWE). In 2000, they were joined by [[Lita (wrestler)|Lita]] to form the popular trio known as '''Team Xtreme'''. They are the only tag team in history to have held the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE, 1971–2010)|WWE World Tag Team Championship]], [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|WCW Tag Team Championship]] (in WWE), [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]], [[ROH World Tag Team Championship]], and both the [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|Raw]] and [[WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship|SmackDown]] Tag Team Championships. After disbanding in 2002, the brothers reunited in 2006 and teamed intermittently thereafter. They had a brief reunion in 2011 in [[Impact Wrestling]] (then known as TNA) as part of [[Immortal (professional wrestling)|Immortal]], and resumed regular tag team activity between 2014 and 2017. Following their departure from Impact in 2017, they returned to WWE, capturing the [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|Raw Tag Team Championship]] at [[WrestleMania 33]]. They later won the [[WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship|SmackDown Tag Team Championship]] the night after [[WrestleMania 35]] in 2019. Matt’s WWE contract expired in March 2020, marking the end of that run, and he subsequently signed with [[All Elite Wrestling]] (AEW). Jeff would also depart WWE in 2021 and joined Matt in AEW in 2022, before both brothers returned to TNA in 2024.
Recognized as one of the most influential and decorated tag teams in professional wrestling, both brothers have also found success in singles competition, with each becoming a multi-time [[Professional wrestling championship#World championships|world champion]]. In 2017, they held seven different tag team titles from seven companies simultaneously—including the [[ROH World Tag Team Championship]] and [[Impact World Tag Team Championship]]—a feat unmatched in wrestling history. The Hardy Boyz are especially noted for their high-risk, innovative performances in [[ladder match]]es and [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match|Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches]]. They are widely credited with helping to revitalize tag team wrestling during the [[Attitude Era]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2889572-ranking-the-best-tag-teams-and-stables-of-wwes-attitude-era | title=Ranking the Best Tag Teams and Stables of WWE's Attitude Era | website=[[Bleacher Report]] }}</ref> In 2012, WWE ranked them number two in its list of the greatest tag teams in history.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/classics/top-50-tag-teams-in-wwe-history/page-51 |title=The Hardy Boyz |website=[[WWE]] |access-date=November 4, 2021}}</ref> Collectively, they are 14-time [[World tag team championship|world tag team champions]] between WWE, TNA, and ROH.

=== Early years (1995–1998) ===
The brothers formed a tag team in 1995 after Jeff's debut in the Trampoline Wrestling Federation (TWF). The promotion went by several names, and it was modernized in 1997 as the [[OMEGA Championship Wrestling|Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts]] (OMEGA).<ref name="digest"/> The duo worked in several [[Independent circuit|independent promotions]] throughout [[North Carolina]], holding the OMEGA Tag Team Championship and NWA 2000 Tag Team Championship.<ref name="hardyz"/> They had their first record tag team for [[Smoky Mountain Wrestling]] in July 1995.

At the ''[[Hardcore Justice (2014)|Hardcore Justice]]'' edition of Impact Wrestling, The Hardys and Team 3D challenged The Wolves to a three-way for the TNA World Tag Team Championship, to which they agreed. Kurt Angle later announced that all three teams would compete in a best of three series for the title with the winners of the first match being able to choose the stipulation of the next one. Team 3D won the first match and chose a Tables match, The Hardys won the second match and chose a ladder match, and The Wolves won the third match on the ''[[No Surrender (2014)|No Surrender]]'' episode of Impact Wrestling, tying them all at one win each. A final match to decide the series took place, and was won by The Wolves. In October, The Hardys participated in a tournament to determine the number one contender to the TNA World Tag Team Championship; they defeated [[The BroMans]] ([[Jessie Godderz]] and [[DJ Z]]), [[Ethan Carter III]] and [[Brodus Clay|Tyrus]], and [[Samoa Joe]] and [[Low Ki]] to win the tournamanet.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/tna-wrestling-results/tna-impact-results/51304-tna-impact-wrestling-results-10-22-14-tag-tournament-begins|title=TNA Impact Wrestling results – 10/22/14 (tag tournament)|publisher=WrestleView|date=October 23, 2014}}</ref> On February 6, 2015, at [[TNA Lockdown#2015|Lockdown]], The Hardys unsuccessfully challenged [[The Revolution (TNA)|The Revolution]] for the TNA World Tag Team Championship in a [[Professional wrestling match types|Six Sides of Steel match]].

On the August 4 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', after a lengthy feud involving the "Deletion" of Jeff Hardy, Broken Matt sent Jeff, (at the time referred to as Brother Nero), on a quest to procure the [[Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championship]] for him. On the August 18 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Broken Matt and Brother Nero defeated [[The BroMans]], [[The Tribunal (professional wrestling)|The Tribunal]], and [[The Helms Dynasty]] in an "Ascension to Hell" fatal four-way number one contender's ladder match for an opportunity to challenge [[Decay (professional wrestling)|Decay]] for the TNA World Tag Team Championships at [[Bound for Glory (2016)|Bound for Glory]]. Broken Matt climbed the ladder and grabbed the contract, following Nero sacrificing himself by jumping off the ladder and onto Trevor Lee. On the September 1 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', the Hardys invited Decay to come to their hometown compound, plotting for a sequel to "The Final Deletion" (dubbed as "Delete or Decay"). Broken Matt turned babyface during this encounter when King Maxel was almost kidnapped by Decay and when Brother Nero took a hit from Abyss' spiked bat, and Broken Matt healed him via the Lake of Restoration.
On October 2 at TNA [[Bound for Glory (2016)|Bound for Glory]] they defeated Decay to become two time TNA World Tag Team Champions. On the October 6 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', they retained their titles against Decay in a Wolf Creek match. On the October 13 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', they were attacked by The Tribunal. The Hardys would then face The Tribunal one week later, on October 20's broadcast where they were able to successfully defend their titles. However, after the match as they returned to the dressing rooms, the arena went dark, signalling the arrival of a new faction, dubbed the [[Death Crew Council|DCC]]. The DCC would use the darkness to attack and layout The Tribunal as The Hardys looked on from the ramp, thus potentially building an upcoming rivalry in weeks to comes. On February 27, 2017, The Hardys announced their departure from TNA after negotiations of a new contract fell through. Jeff and Matt left the company without dropping the TNA World Tag Team Championships.

Their TNA contracts officially expired on February 27, 2017. However, since television had been pre-taped, they continued to be recognized on ''Impact'' as TNA Tag Team Champions. They offered to drop the belts at the next tapings, but TNA’s parent company Anthem declined.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Hardys Done With TNA Barring Drastic Changes|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/tna-news/hardys-done-tna-barring-drastic-changes-230866|website=Wrestling Observer Newsletter|date=February 27, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Hardys Break Ties With TNA|url=http://www.pwtorch.com/site/2017/02/27/breaking-news-hardys-galloway-break-ties-tna-matt-posts-intriguing-message-twitter-wkellers-analysis/|website=Pro Wrestling Torch|date=February 27, 2017}}</ref> On the March 3 taping (aired March 16), ''Impact Wrestling'' formally vacated the tag titles.
