00:00Looks like Team Extreme got an extreme Dark State beatdown, huh?
00:03Yeah, the Hardys been riding real high after becoming double champs.
00:07Retiring to Dudley's. Thought they was just gonna move on from us, huh?
00:11Man, hell nah!
00:12Man, you don't just move past Dark State, fool.
00:15And them Hardys out that real fast when they was played on the pavement last week.
00:20The worst thing you could have done is single us out.
00:23Now your little fun time's over.
00:24We don't care that y'all are the greatest tag team of all time.
00:27We are the here and the now.
00:30And putting y'all down for good is gonna make a whole lot sweeter when we take those tag titles back at Halloween happy.
00:34And it's Saturday.
00:36Y'all gonna find out once again when Dark State strikes ain't nothing.
00:45Dark State.
00:46Oh, Dark State.
00:48Those are strong words from a powerful group of renegades like you.
00:51But if you thought you caught the Hardys off guard with what you did last week, you didn't.
00:55You're more naive than you realize.
00:57We have been around the block together, separate, teammates, rivals.
01:03Man, we have been through it all, man.
01:06Mm-hmm.
01:12We knew you weren't gonna go away after you lost the NXT titles to us.
01:16Dare I say, we knew you'd come.
01:19And you sit there and think you have us exactly where you want us.
01:27Vulnerable.
01:28Weak.
01:29Broken.
01:30Broken.
01:31Broken.
01:33But dare I say,
01:34broken is where Brother Nero and I thrive.
01:37I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:38I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:39I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:40I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:40I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:41I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:42I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:43I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:44I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:45I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:46I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:47I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:48I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:49I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:50I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:51I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:52I'm not going to go away after you lost.
01:53Oh, my God.
02:23I knew you'd come.
02:29State of Dark, you have woken the broken hearties.
02:35Dark State, you only broke us to make us stronger.
02:38Our next encounter will be a broken rules match.
02:42And a broken rules match has no rules.
02:45Because in the broken universe, anything is possible and everything goes.
02:54Dark State, you'll simply fade away and classify yourselves as obsolete.
03:01Obsolete!
03:02You are sentenced to deletion!
03:06Run!
03:07Delette!
03:36The following contest is a broken rules match, and it's for the NXT Tag Team Championship!
04:06Introducing first, Dark State!
04:12And again in this broken rules match, all four men will be legal, no tax.
04:18Decision must take place inside the ring.
04:27And these men must be in a foul mood.
04:31It's a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure on Dark State.
04:36I mean they talk a lot, but can they walk it like they talk?
04:40That's the question!
04:41What?
04:43I will delete you!
04:52I will delete you!
05:01And they're opponents from the Hardy compound!
05:07They are the TNA World Tag Team and the NXT Tag Team Champions!
05:22Broken Matt Hardy!
05:25And Brother Nero!
05:28The Broken Hardy!
05:34It's important to note that the TNA Tag Titles are not on the line in this match-up.
05:41But there you see Broken Matt.
05:43Brother Nero!
05:44They're more animalistic.
05:46They're more primal, so to speak, when they have been re-awoken by the Dark State.
05:52That is Brother Nero.
05:53Nero?
05:54Nero, right?
05:55Yep.
05:56You tell you that?
05:57What the hell?
05:58Not like anything that they ever seen before.
06:00You see his eyes?
06:01Yes, I saw him.
06:02You talking about the Sugar Man?
06:03You talking about the Sugar Man, right?
06:05I was talking about what was on the monitor and that made Jeff Hardy's eyes.
06:08I thought you were talking about the Sugar Man.
06:09No, there's a lot going on.
06:10There's six bodies, right?
06:11I get you, Book.
06:12I understand what you're saying.
06:13Hardy's competing on their first WWE Premium Live event since 2017.
06:19This ain't nothing to do, though.
06:20This ain't nothing to do.
06:21And isn't it interesting, though, before this gets underway, first NXT Premium Live event.
06:26Three!
06:27Three!
06:28Three!
06:29Three!
06:30Three!
06:31Three!
06:32One!
06:33And it's just crazy to think this is another first for these two who have a Hall of Fame
06:38career.
06:39It is.
06:40It is another first, but Brother Nero and Matt, these guys have been in the right light many,
06:44many times.
06:45They've defended their championships many, many times.
06:48And like I say, the pressure, the pressure goes to Darkstate.
06:51The young guys looking to up in the Hardys.
06:56That's what this is all about.
06:58Well, Adrian Butler, the official, is going to have his hands pulled in this matchup.
07:05We got Lennox and Sugar Man.
07:08Who we got?
07:09Who we got in this match?
07:11We got Osiris the virus.

07:50they don't give a damn about these veterans man they don't care about the the lineage of the
07:55hardys or anything like that they're looking to break the hardest and take back the championships
08:00some of the greatest hits right off rip being played here by the hardy boys broken math brother
08:06and hero dropping osiris again into the cover all pins any submission any decision has got to take
08:12place inside the ring to be victorious who does this match favor it's gotta it's gotta favor the
08:19hardys i would agree with you i mean it's their match right it's the broken rules match big splash
08:24into the cover on lennox hook of the leg in a kick out game same goes back to hey anything goes anything
08:32don't start complaining now don't start complaining you just said it a second ago this is their match
08:38you said it i did say it but adrian butler can't do anything it's all legal like you just mentioned
08:47thank you man look here dark state it's about that moniker i always talk about right if you ain't
08:54cheating you ain't trying right now it's about the championship it's about getting the goal back
08:59on the nxt brand and look here i can respect that i can respect that well dark state lost the titles to
09:07the hardys at showdown and look look at all these bodies right now i mean there's a lot of moving parts
09:14to what's going on in this matchup is this the first time when it comes to dark state that they've truly
09:21faced any sort of adversity yeah i mean there's a lot of factors going to go into this matchup here i mean
09:26he's going to be facing the legendary team is proud of course going to be behind the car the hardys
09:30coming in the challenger and show the champions under these bright lights here in halloween having
09:35a lot of factors he's going to come in the pool already's eight-time WWE tag team champions showing
09:39you right now why first team to hold the nxt and tna tag team championships at the very same time
09:46also the first tna contracted wrestlers to hold nxt gold he says a lot about the hardys i mean this
09:53this guy's got a lot left in their tank and right now they're proving it beat that hell out of osiris
09:59as well as deon lennox but you don't want to piss off the virus you can do whatever you want to
10:06the virus if you're beating it beating them down if you're destroying them if you're taking it to
10:11him size doesn't do too much and look at brother nero aka jeff hardy hardy's in a comfort zone right
10:21now you can tell them oh yeah they are they'll prove control right now in this matchup back into
10:27the ring look at what jeff to the outside taking out sugars i want to talk about what's going on
10:32inside the ring with a steel chair assistant twist of fate
10:40a table snap on the far side these are taking dark out tonight i think color james has realized all the
10:48bodies were spilling around he's the only one standing he's the only one to save this for dark state
11:00things really breaking down in this matchup here they are right now the heart of the steelman
11:06total control over that what's going on on the outside with the sugar man oh
11:11there's brother nero coming right back great equalizer oh sugar man just getting whooped right now and
11:18right back in the chains
11:24look this this has got to be the first time dark state have been in a position like this in a
11:30matchup like this and they're definitely you can tell they're out of the comfort zone 100 and that was the
11:36reason behind i'll tell you one step further than you you take a look at all the bodies that are
11:48around here not knowing how the hell can dark state even prepare for a broken rules match yeah you can't
11:57prepare for it but like i said dark state is uh four young guys looking to make a claim here in the wwe
12:04here at hd and tonight they got they got the biggest chance of their career dr hardy's on dr hardy's
12:12well that's where we saw osiris get wiped out and that brought in cutler james right here in front of
12:17us to save this matchup for dark state this is a battle and it's different it's not just matt and jeff
12:26it's not the hardy boys it's the broken hardys they go to a different place we can see that they go to
12:32a different zone you call it a comfort zone
12:37they're not worried about the numbers game at all seem like they're willing to take the fight right
12:42to a dark state i think this might be the first first duo to take it to a dark state like this and
12:48i mean look at these unique tables coming out you don't think that has the uh brother nero touches
12:54is halloween heaven man this is it and i also agree with you this is the first time someone that we
12:59can honestly sit here and say dark state are the underdogs they're not the favorite in this matchup
13:05there's no way i'm gonna say losing the the titles like i say that's like losing that that cloak of
13:11invincibility and right now dark state i'm i'm looking over to my left i'm looking at the sugar man and
13:17he's he's a dire straight right now man what is on the mind of brother nero i mean you've known jeff
13:26longer than than i have a lot of things go through his mind never been willing to compete in a match
13:31like this against the hardy but just not my cup of tea well one would have assumed coming into this
13:38match with that the sugar man as you call them who is the man who typically has the plan would have
13:44figured out the landscape of this matchup but it even seems his genius in some sort of way has been
13:50altered because the hardy boys are in an altered state here tonight they'll cruise control right now
13:56and they're taking it right to dark state we're about to see something and booker think about the
14:01two men right now that are laid across these tables they're not the two that are in the match
14:07wait a minute the hardys are looking to take out the equalizers right here talking about taking it to
14:14the extreme right now here we go oh my god a swanton table snap followed by a second from broken mac
14:37double up that is one way to take out the competition because you said at the start of this booker did you
14:49not oh it was a handicap match numbers game numbers game that's right here got equaled out right numbers
14:53right there definitely even out right now culling james is down the sugar man is down but dion lennox
15:01he's skill in the fight man and dion lennox you gotta you gotta give this guy a lot of credit he's the one who put
15:05this thing together he's the one who put this whole dark state thing together came in like a choir
15:10boy and did just just got dark all of a sudden you gotta gotta love that he certainly did fly under
15:16the radar so to speak but we also talk about the hardys no matter what state they're in they knew
15:23that it was going to be a numbers advantage for dark state they knew somehow some way they needed to
15:27create an opportunity to isolate the other two members of dark state and booker they've done that
15:33this is back down to two on two and then there's broken rules match again all four men are legal there
15:40are no tags that need to be made the decision though has to happen inside the ring but right now lennox
15:46right now osiris oh yeah how much can the hardys take at this stage of the game i think that's another
15:53question i think that's a valid question as well they arrived that being dark state in february
16:00some would say that we're going to learn a lot about them tonight and everything that they've learned
16:06over the last several months how much time this time that the hardys put into this business how
16:12many how many bumps can you can you take i mean they always say you got only so many bumps on the
16:18bump card and right now the hardys they got they got to be damn close to it they got to be so close
16:23there's a lot of bumps being added to that card right now in this moment as the nxt universe trying
16:29to rally the broken hardys and look at deon lennox with no fear went and grabbed the ladder not many
16:35men would just go out and grab a ladder with mason the hardys big homie kevin man she was saying it's
16:40about the money in the miles how many miles how many miles did the hardys have booker low oh my god
16:48oh my god that ladder how many bumps left how many bumps on the bump card this bad hat that's the question
16:56we talked about strategy how much energy did the broken hardys use wiping out the rest of dark
17:05state to make this back to just two on two here's osiris and let oh and a 3d who was that a message
17:13to into the cover and matt hardy's left shoulder up they don't want none of this smoke let's not let's
17:23not even go let's talk about dark state four rogue men we're on one four men with one mission they
17:29don't want to wait their turn so brother nero right now is unloading unleashing no quid there's no quid in
17:36nero it's all legal this is legal and they're getting a little maybe too close
17:45you start talking about the broken hardys and what they've been thinking about and look at the
17:52welds yeah i was about to say look at the welds on the body of matt hardy and oh that's dion lennox
17:59right that's a young man right there that's got a a lot of adrenaline flowing through his body and
18:05he's kind of looking like he's ready to quit anytime soon he's ready to fight i like it
18:10and that that may be the thing that saves dark state in this matchup is being able to go deep
18:15into this match going to find some more in the tank based on the fact talking about that earlier with
18:21javon evans when he came and i said you can bottle it you can bottle with him i mean i could use a little
18:26bit of it that that's dion lennox a guy who's got an abundance of right yes again there's no rules
18:33in this broken rules match
18:39brother nero just trying to pull himself up at this juncture
18:47oh should have just stayed down
18:50wow
19:03after everything we've seen here tonight at halloween havoc
19:12that collision could have been the scariest and this matchup continuing could be the one that
19:17dipped the scale i could tell you that gotta wonder somewhere javon evans leon slater two men we saw
19:23open the night the hardy pupils they got to be around a monitor somewhere looking on watching this
19:29matchup and right now watching the beat down that dark state is giving the broken heart let me tell
19:35you something it's a sellout in the back you know with the boys at the monitor watching this match
19:40right here it's a sellout trust me and hardy that being jeff broken hero right back in oh yes twist
19:51the face you got a lot left to the tank at least a little bit what is left in that tank hero's going
19:58up top oh yeah got all of it to the cover to retain the titles
20:08you know lens in the thick of time right the last second he was at the right place at the right time but
20:15booker get ready for a little plot twist my god broken matting into the cover looking home for men legal still not enough
20:26and i i don't know if i just saw what matt did but did matt say go get more tables break the noise man
20:35i think that's what this is all about like i say the the hardys are in a confident zone right here pain is their
20:42friend that's that could be the difference right there victor truly looking to put these hungry lions down
20:52as we've seen a lot of moments just think about that earlier the pain threshold the heart is a little
20:56to go to that they're willing to take it's a little different it's a little different than anything
21:01that i've ever seen in the space just trust me on that you've been in the ring with them
21:07you share the locker room with them that being the hardys but you never have shared the locker room
21:12with them in this state of mind no i'm gonna tell you right now i couldn't remember mad jeff
21:17already uh from a secret perspective and both of those guys are highly talented highly talented
21:23but this match right here this this is something they invented this type of way man they invented this that was
21:29the swanson bomb and of course didn't get the job done
21:36plot twist hardy boys started rocking again on all cylinders give credit where credit is due to deon
21:42lennox but i want to go back to right before we saw that replay sugars was starting to rise matt
21:48hardy realized it and quickly chucked that table chucked a table at another man smacked him right in the face
21:57you know how you prepare for a fight you don't know that's coming to you you can't do it you can't
22:03prepare for a matchup like this tables ladders get those sticks chairs again you start to wonder does
22:09dark stage regret awakening these two because while they're laying out and we can keep talking about
22:15how much energy is left does it look like broken matt does it look like brother nero are running out of
22:21energy right now the hardies look like two wild dogs right now it just just taking out osiris i'm talking
22:29about just biting him every every inch of his body oh yes man well they might have been biting but right now
22:36they're looking to feast
22:47the length jeff is willing to go nobody doesn't like jeff hardy nobody does it like jeff hardy
22:58oh my god man here we go wow and that might have been the damaged table snap we've ever called
23:09the height jeff hardy just fell
23:11brother nero twitching because there was no one
23:31osiris has to be thanking his stars right now but broken matt's got to realize this matchup's
23:37continuing this match oh maybe not after that spine buster beautiful spine
23:44mac got that shoulder up broken matt continuing to fight will not be deleted will not be defeated
23:51here at halloween habit that's a dash race right now though nick right now yes nobody to help him i mean
23:58brother nero is down and and he's out i think i think he's out for the count
24:07i mean we thought we saw a lot of that in the day of dead match
24:14the broken rules match right now taking things as you've said to the extreme and dion lennox
24:21might be doing something we've never seen him do before
24:24but as you say put the thing together by any means necessary hardy
24:33matt starting to fight back
24:37broken matt now looking back sees the table
24:43lennox trying his best to fight trying to fight right through
24:45lennox holding on to that top wall right there he's holding on tight and there comes osiris in
24:52the last moment trying to even things out but matt trying to fire right back shot after shot
24:57forearm after forearm beaten back osiris and there comes lennox and they get all four men legal and
25:03this is that pack-a-dog mentality you talk about with these rogue athletes but take a look
25:07at the broken hardys continuing to fight with their championships on the line
25:18i don't know how much more any of these men what can take that heart is holding his own right now
25:23though against dark state right now osiris trying to trying to lower the boom trying to do something to
25:30to finish this thing but you know those body shot already won't quit those body shots feel a little bit
25:35different different different but let me tell you the hardys i'm wondering what's keeping them up
25:50and jeff in defiance fighting back
25:56but how much left after that nasty spill matt hardy's tangled right now broken matt is tangled in the
26:03turnbuckle then he's calling for something i don't know what it is lennox called for something but
26:08what the hell what is this
26:17oh doomsday device on the table what are we about to witness
26:20doomsday device over the table oh yes doomsday table snap matt can't move matt's tied up brother nero could
26:29be out and dark state just recaptured the titles here are your winners and the new nxt tag team champion
26:44dark state
26:50wow
26:54not unhappy people in the building tonight you can say that again booker but also
27:00with this victory
27:01you got to talk about an ultimate power swing to dark state vigilant have shifted
27:13and you can go back to this broken rules match and i think you can pinpoint this moment i think you
27:19can look at this exact moment in time to saying this is where everything changed even the look on broken
27:25matt's face saying oh my god looking at his brother matt would go at it two on one the big spine buster
27:33the broken man always spueled continuing to fight this one would continue but as you called it
27:43quite a doomsday device
27:45yes the welts on all these men's bodies but in the end we have new tag team champions
27:57and dark state has dethroned and deleted the hardys from nxt
