At last night's Slammiversary pay-per-view, Matt and Jeff Hardy captured the TNA Tag Team Championship, but the real story unfolded after the match when they were confronted by a legendary rival. Bully Ray, known to WWE fans as Bubba Ray Dudley, came to the ring and challenged the new champions to one final, historic match. A Chaotic Ladder Match Victory The Hardys won the titles in a chaotic four-way ladder match at the July 20th event. The bout also featured the defending champions, The Nemeths (Nic and Ryan Nemeth), First Class, and The Rascalz. After all the standard ladders were destroyed, Jeff Hardy revealed a huge rope ladder, which he climbed to retrieve the belts and secure the victory for his team. This marks the fourth time The Hardy Boyz have held the TNA World Tag Team Championship. One Last Match After their victory celebration, Bully Ray came to the ring. He congratulated the new champions and reflected on their long and storied history together. He then laid down a challenge for TNA's biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory. Bully Ray pitched one final match between his team, Team 3D (The Dudley Boyz), and The Hardys. He hinted that it would be the last time he and his partner, D-Von Dudley, would ever team up, noting it would be the last time he asks D-Von to "get the tables."

PHILIPPE HUGUEN/AFP/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation The Final Chapter Of A Legendary Rivalry A final match between The Hardys and The Dudley Boyz would be the end of an era. Along with Edge and Christian (Adam Copeland and Christian Cage), these two teams revolutionized tag team wrestling during WWE's Attitude Era. Their creation of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) match produced some of the most iconic and death-defying moments in wrestling history, particularly their legendary bouts at WrestleMania 2000 and WrestleMania X-Seven. For over two decades, these three teams were inextricably linked. In a fascinating coincidence, this challenge comes just as AEW has begun to tease a potential reunion for Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. The unexpected re-emergence of these legendary rivalries has created a wave of excitement and nostalgia. It now appears that TNA's Bound For Glory will be the stage for the final, epic chapter between two of the greatest tag teams of all time. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports

Janel Parrish, Michael Naizu to star in Bound For Glory
Los Angeles, Jul 20 (PTI) Hollywood actor Janel Parrish, best known for her work in the drama series 'Pretty Little Liars", will feature in a new indie film, titled 'Bound For Glory". According to the entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter, the film also stars Michael Naizu and marks the collaboration for both actors, who have previously worked in 'Christmas Is Canceled". The film was released in 2021. 'Bound For Glory" is directed by Naizu, alongside his brother, John Wilcox. It is inspired by Naizu's background as a Chinese American navigating Hollywood, and follows 'a mixed-race, working-class couple in crisis, interweaving themes of identity, codependency and generational expectation," according to the official synopsis. The production of the film is slated to begin in the fall in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. Parrish said she is happy to collaborate with her 'Christmas Is Canceled" co-star. 'So happy to be working with Michael Naizu again, this time to tell his beautiful and compelling story," the 36-year-old actor said in a statement. 'It means so much to collaborate with AAPI storytellers and help bring narratives to life that reflect who we are and why representation matters," she added. Naizu said the story is deeply personal for him. 'This is a story I've been trying to tell my whole life. It's deeply personal, rooted in my experience navigating identity and purpose in an industry that is extremely competitive and volatile. To now be making this film with my brother John, my childhood best friend Derik, and Janel Parrish — someone I've admired for years — it feels like everything is coming full circle," he said. 'To have Bound For Glory backed by a trailblazing organization like Gold House is incredibly meaningful. I honestly can't wait to get cameras up and bring this story to life," he added.
