At TNA Slammiversary, The Hardys (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) defeated The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth) (c), The Rascalz (Myron Reed and Zachary Wentz) and Fir$t Cla$$ (A. J. Francis and KC Navarro) in a Ladder Match to win the TNA World Tag Team Titles.

This was Matt & Jeff Hardy’s 4th TNA World Tag Team Championship victory. TNA Hall of Famer Bully Ray aka Bubba Ray Dudley came out after the match. Bully congratulated them on another World Tag Team Title victory. Bully Ray pitched The Hardys vs. Team 3D (Dudley Boyz) at Bound For Glory in October – one last match – one last great tag team match to determine the most successful tag team in wrestling history.

D-Von Dudley was missing from this segment. On Busted Open Radio, Bully confirmed that D-Von will appear at Bound For Glory. He also revealed that D-Von couldn’t be present at Slammiversary due to an unavoidable family matter.

TNA Bound For Glory 2025 will take place on October 12 in Lowell, Massachusetts at the Tsongas Center.

• Roddy Hogan Passes Away

The wrestling community is mourning the loss of Eric Servis, beloved by many as “Roddy Hogan.” Known for his unmistakable presence at countless wrestling shows since the 1980s, Eric was a true superfan, recognized for his dedication to dressing up like Hulk Hogan and igniting energy wherever he appeared.

Roddy Hogan became a staple at wrestling events across several decades. His elaborate Hulk Hogan persona – complete with handlebar mustache, bandana, and signature poses – brought smiles and laughter to fans, performers, and commentators alike.

For many, spotting Roddy Hogan in the crowd was as much a tradition as the matches themselves. He wasn’t just a cosplayer; he embodied the spirit and spectacle of pro wrestling fandom in the purest way.

In recent years, Eric’s health had declined, leading to frequent hospitalizations. Despite these hardships, he remained a cherished figure within the community, both in person and in the hearts of those who knew him.

Sadly, Eric passed away last night after being in and out of the hospital for over a month. He was in his 70s, as revealed by Eric’s close friend Matthew Balk.
