Reby Hardy, Señor Benjamin & King Maxel Appear In Broken Hardys Video On WWE NXT

Familiar faces in the vignette.

A video message from NXT Tag Team and TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) interrupted a promo video from DarkState (Saquon Shugars, Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin & Cutler James) on WWE NXT.

The two teams are set to meet at NXT Halloween Havoc with the NXT Tag Team Championship on the line. The Hardys’ video featured them walking into the Lake of Reincarnation and coming out as Broken Matt and Brother Nero.

It was then decided that the Broken Hardys would be defending the NXT Tag Team Titles against DarkState in a Broken Rules match at Halloween Havoc.

Appearing in The Hardys’ video were Reby Hardy (Matt Hardy’s wife), Señor Benjamin (Reby’s father), and Matt and Reby’s four children, including King Maxel, who appeared with them on-screen in TNA Wrestling.

OH. MY. GOD.
