DarkState captured the NXT Tag Team Championships at the Halloween Havoc event on Saturday.
Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin defeated The Broken Hardys (Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero, Jeff Hardy) in a “Broken Rules” match to win the titles.
The stipulation allowed all four members of DarkState, including Saquon Shugars and Cutler James, to be legally involved in a 4-on-2 handicap match with no disqualifications.
The Hardys used steel chairs to counter the numbers disadvantage early in the match. Jeff Hardy suplexed Osiris Griffin through a table at ringside. The Hardys later put Shugars and James through two separate tables; Matt Hardy hit a leg drop off a ladder onto James, and Jeff delivered a Swanton Bomb from the top rope onto Shugars.
Lennox and Griffin recovered and took control, using kendo sticks and a trash can. They performed a 3D on Matt Hardy, who kicked out at two. The brawl moved into the timekeeper’s area, where Griffin speared Jeff through a barricade.
Back in the ring, the Hardys hit a Twist of Fate followed by a Swanton Bomb on Griffin, but Lennox broke up the pinfall.
The match turned when the Hardys set up two tables outside the ring and placed Griffin on them. Jeff Hardy climbed a tall ladder and attempted a Swanton Bomb, but Griffin moved, causing Jeff to crash through both tables to the floor.
OH. MY. GOD.

Inside the ring, Lennox hit a spinebuster on Matt Hardy and set up a table. As Lennox and Hardy fought on the ropes, Griffin entered and put Hardy in a tree of woe.
Griffin then lifted Jeff, who had crawled back in, onto his shoulders in an electric chair position. Lennox leaped from the top of the ladder, completing a Doomsday Device that drove Jeff through the table. Lennox then pinned him to win the match.
