Matt and Jeff Hardy looked to delete The Elite at AEW Double or Nothing.
The Hardys and Young Bucks had faced off twice before tonight, both times for ROH in 2017, with each team winning one of the matches. Matt and Nick Jackson have been outspoken about The Hardys being an inspiration to them, but they now believe that they have surpassed Matt and Jeff as a team. Looking to prove that they still have lots to give and that The Young Bucks are merely Hardy cosplayers, Matt and Jeff accepted the Jacksons' challenge for a match at Double or Nothing.
A detailed rundown of the action can be seen below.
