Idea Was Pitched For Matt Hardy To Delete TNA At The End Of Tag Team Apocalypto For Rebrand
Four years ago on December 15, 2016, Matt & Jeff Hardy teamed to take on all of the greatest tag teams who dared come to the Hardy compound for Tag Team Apocalypto.
At the end of night, Broken Matt and Brother Nero were victorious, staking their claim as The Greatest Tag Team in All of Space and Time.
The IMPACT social media account celebrated the moment by tweeting out highlights from the bout. IMPACT Digital Producer Garrett Kidney noted on Twitter that Hardy almost deleted all of TNA to end the match.

Matt would respond to the tweet, confirming that the pitch was made, but obviously did not go through.
This is true.

TNA was eventually rebranded months later in March 2017 when Anthem purchased the company, changing the name to IMPACT Wrestling.
