Tavion Heights says stepping into the ring with The Hardys was a career milestone he will not forget. Heights and tag team partner Myles Borne faced Matt and Jeff Hardy on the February 25th edition of WWE NXT, a match that marked The Hardys’ return to WWE after years away from the company.
Speaking on the “Going Ringside” podcast, Heights described the experience as “life changing,” according to eWrestlingNews. For Heights, the opportunity to share the ring with the veteran tag team served as validation of his work in the industry, coming in a high-profile spot for the promotion’s returning stars.
Heights and Borne did not walk away with the win in the encounter, but the match itself was notable as the first appearance for The Hardys back under the WWE banner in years. The bout gave both younger competitors a marquee platform opposite one of the most decorated tag teams in wrestling history.
Neither Fightful nor eWrestlingNews detailed further specifics of Heights’ comments beyond his reflection on the match’s significance, and no additional context about follow-up plans involving Heights, Borne or The Hardys was included in the reports.
