The Hardy Boyz, also known as The Hardys, Team Xtreme, and The Broken Hardys, are a professional wrestling tag team, consisting of real-life brothers Jeff and Matt Hardy.
They first began teaming together in 1993 in independent promotions in North Carolina, winning the NWA 2000 Tag Team Championship in NWA 2000, and founded the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts, where they held the OMEGA Tag Team Championship. They both signed contracts with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1998. In 2000, they were joined by Lita, and the trio became Team Xtreme. After splitting as a team in 2002, the brothers reunited in 2006 and teamed sporadically afterward. They also appeared in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), briefly reuniting in 2011 as members of Immortal, and teaming more frequently from 2014–2017.
The Hardy Boyz gained fame for their participation in ladder matches and Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches with The Dudley Boyz/Team 3D and Edge and Christian. Overall they are 10-time world tag team champions between WWE, TNA, and ROH, having won the WWF/World Tag Team Championship six times and the WCW Tag Team Championship once in WWF/E, the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice, and the ROH World Tag Team Championship once. They are the only team to have held the WWF/World, WCW, TNA and ROH Tag Team Championships. Both brothers also won singles championships during their run as a tag team, with each becoming multi-time world champions in their own right. In 2017, they held seven Tag Team Championships from seven different promotions at the same time, including the ROH World Tag Team Championship. They are the only tag team in history to be recognized as the TNA and ROH Tag Team Champions simultaneously.
