Matt and Jeff Hardy are now household names in the wrestling business and made their return to WWE earlier this year, to claim the Raw Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 33.

Back in 2001, The Hardyz were still making a name for themselves in a time where it seemed that the Tag Team Championships were being passed around like hot potatoes.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

After winning the WCW Tag Team Championships from Booker T and Test in October 2001, the duo lost them two weeks later to The Dudley Boyz and were then granted another match against Booker T and Test. This time, their match was for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and the popular duo were able to lift just days before Survivor Series.

At the pay-per-view event, The Hardyz took on old rivals The Dudley Boyz in a steel cage title unification match, which they ended up losing. It would have been Booker T and Test in that match if The Hardyz didn't pick up the Championships at the last minute, but it seems that Matt and Jeff put on a much better show against D-Von and Bubba Ray that night.
