WWE is set to release a Hardy Boyz DVD later this month that will feature footage from their time working at Impact Wrestling.

Since Impact Wrestling first formed over fifteen years ago, WWE has basically done their level best to ignore that they exist. In recent years, however, Vince McMahon must have finally become comfortable in the fact that there isn't a professional wrestling promotion on the planet right now that is anywhere near knocking WWE off the top of the pile, and that, of course, includes Impact.

More former Impact stars are competing on WWE television than ever before, and the majority of them are enjoying a lot of success. The two companies have even been acknowledging each other on TV and via social media, even if it is just to take a dig at one another. Kurt Angle made an off the cuff comment on Raw this week about TNA hiring, and a couple of weeks ago Impact poked fun at the way WWE has their Superstars watch television screens.

Not all of the interactions between the two companies are in the form of thinly veiled insults, however. On April 30, 2018, WWE is planning to release a Best Of The Hardy Boyz DVD box set and it will chronicle their entire career including Matt and Jeff's time with Impact. The news was broken via WWE Home Video UK's Twitter account earlier this week and will be the "first time ever" that a WWE DVD will feature footage from Impact.

It's a subject that has been broached a lot recently, especially when there were rumors that McMahon was planning on purchasing Impact Wrestling's tape library. It would be a pretty valuable asset to them in the present day. When putting together video packages on the likes of AJ Styles and even Kurt Angle without Impact's input there will be massive gaps missing from various Superstars' careers.

The Hardy Boyz seem to be the key to a bridge being built between WWE and Impact Wrestling. Matt's in-ring antics, in particular, have forced the two promotions to interact and clearly, they have been since The Broken Universe is now in full effect on Raw. Now the companies have worked with each other to put together a DVD the future could be bright for a working relationship between the two promotions.
