#4. ⁠& #3. Jeff and Matt Hardy

Jeff and Matt Hardy are undisputed legends. The Hardy Boyz have spent several years in the WWE and have won numerous championships, both as a tag team and as singles stars. The legendary duo parted ways with All Elite Wrestling earlier this year. Matt and Jeff are currently working for TNA but have yet to sign a full-time deal.

The Hardy Boyz reportedly met WWE officials to film digital content for the promotion in Cleveland earlier this month. The alleged meeting sparked speculations among fans about a possible return of the legendary tag team. Additionally, during a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt expressed his desire to wrestle his final match in WWE and then get inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside Jeff.

Given the recent developments, it won't be a surprise if the legendary tag team returns to the company at the upcoming Bash in Berlin PLE.
