Bully Ray spent a chunk of the latest Busted Open After Dark breaking down one simple, combustible question: would WWE actually let The Hardys carry NXT gold into a TNA match with Team 3D? He framed the scenario as more than bragging rights it could rewrite tag-team legacy then zeroed in on the part nobody seemed to be asking out loud: would WWE sign off on that kind of cross-company fallout?
Bully set the scene by running through the math The Hardys already hold TNA tag gold and have a resume of WWE-era titles. If they beat Dark State on NXT, theyd collect the NXT straps too, meaning theyd have held every major WWE tag title across eras.
Then Bully pointed to the obvious next step Bound for Glorys planned Hardys vs Team 3D tables match and asked the business question that changes this from nostalgia tour to potential contractual headache.
Bully didnt just tease the fantasy booking. He walked listeners through the domino effect: if The Hardys win NXT belts, then lose those belts to Team 3D at a TNA event, Team 3D would complete the same sweep the Dudleys once did a historic ripple that would require WWEs blessing or a major breaking of industry norms.
Beyond the nostalgia angle, Bully framed the core issue as a corporate decision disguised as narrative who controls the belts, and which company decides when and where they can be defended? He kept circling back to that single, sharp point: the story is only possible if WWE signs off.
This isnt just about who walks out with two belts its about corporate trust, creative permission, and whether WWE will loosen its grip enough to let a historic title change spill outside its ecosystem. Bully Ray thinks the stakes are real; the question fans should be asking now is whether WWE will let history happen or lock the books.
