It's unclear who the brothers will face next. However, since this will realistically be the final run for the two, they'll likely build up to some epic matches. With a stacked tag team division, there are many bouts waiting to happen.

Matt Hardy believes that The Hardys' early run in WWE was uneven
During the most recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the star disclosed that he wasn't happy with the team's initial run.
"I just really think Vince [McMahon] never saw Tag Teams like a main event draw," said Matt. "He just thinks tag teams are disposable. I still think he kind of felt like we were all Teflon and it didn't hurt us to get beat. I feel like to maintain credibility, you do need to pick up wins, especially in key situations. But just tag team wrestling has never been Vince's thing." (H/T: Sportskeeda)

The Hardys would eventually go on to become megastars, regardless of their initial booking. Today, the siblings are well-regarded by the professional wrestling fanbase.
