What's the story?
After suffering a loss to The Hardy Boyz less than a month ago, Matt and Nick Jackson were vindicated in Lakeland, Florida this past Saturday as they regained their Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships by defeating the Hardy Boyz at Supercard of Honor XI.
In case you didn't know:
The Young Bucks are without question the most decorated tag team outside of the WWE. They have succeeded in dominating tag divisions everywhere they have been, including Japan. This latest title victory over The Hardy Boyz marks their third reign as ROH tag champions.

The heart of the matter:
The stars of WWE and NXT were not the only ones in Orlando this past weekend. While all eyes were fixed on the Citrus Bowl for WrestleMania 33, Ring of Honor rocked Orange County with Supercard XI and they certainly did not let fans down.
The main event of ROH Supercard XI featured a huge tag team title match where the Hardy Boyz defended the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships against their bitter rivals, The Young Bucks.
After nearly a half hour of back and forth action, Matt and Nick Jackson dethroned Jeff and Matt Hardy, to once again become the ROH tag team champions.
What's next?
As we now know, The Hardy Boyz are back with the WWE. After making a surprising return in the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship match, The Hardyz held on to actually win the RAW tag team titles.
As far as The Young Bucks are concerned, it appears that they will continue their current path to independent domination, proving that they can have global success without joining Vince McMahon’s machine.
Author’s take:
Wow, what an exciting weekend for wrestling fans. While WWE had a huge weekend indeed, the stars of Ring of Honor once again proved that they are a highly entertaining alternative to the WWE.
While I would love to see The Young Bucks make the jump to the WWE, I cannot blame them for not doing so, simply because they have shown that they can make a great living and career for themselves in the indie scene.
