The Usos are the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is based<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> on the cumulative days they have held the titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Usos&#8217; previous tag titles reign included a 316-day Raw reign and their record 622-day SmackDown reign. This reign saw them surpass The New Day, who had previously held the record. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Generational Dream Match <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Matt Hardy took to social media to congratulate The Usos on returning to the top of the tag team division. Hardy also chose to challenge The Usos to a match for these new titles at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas in April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But Hardy didn&#8217;t stop at fantasy booking a standard tag team contest. Hardy has brought The New Day into the mix for this dream match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Hardy Boyz vs. The Usos vs. The New Day is the match he claims would be a &#8216;generational dream match&#8217;. It is hard to argue with Hardy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In October 2025, The Hardy Boyz defended both the NXT and TNA tag team titles against their fiercest rivals, The Dudley Boyz. The Hardys came out on top in this contest to prove they were the greatest of their generation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Hardys are currently in their 4th reign as TNA World Tag Team Champions. The current working relationship between WWE and TNA means a cross-promotion match at WrestleMania 42 is a huge possibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>WWE Raw will include a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/12\/30\/preview-wwe-raw-1-5-25-netflix-anniversary-stranger-things-special\/\" target=\"_self\">crossover promotion with Stranger Things as part of its Netflix anniversary show next Monday.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<section class=\"mb-12\">\n<div class=\"max-w-4xl mx-auto\"><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Rhea Ripley and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
