The Righteous defeat Broken Matt and Brother Nero in brutal TNA spectacle
Summary
– The Righteous defeated the Broken Hardys in the first-ever Wicked Garden Match
– Barbed wire, flowers, weapons, and poison turned the match into a violent nightmare
– Brother Nero was taken out after being poisoned before Matt Hardy fell to The Righteous
The Broken Hardys stepped into The Righteous’ world on the June 4 episode of TNA iMPACT, and the first-ever Wicked Garden Match became one of the most disturbing battles in recent TNA memory.
Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero entered the match against Vincent and Dutch in an environment built around beauty and pain. Flowers, barbed wire, weapons, and danger at every turn surrounded the ring.
The rules were simple, but the match was anything but normal. There were no countouts and no disqualifications, with the first team to earn a pinfall or submission inside the ring declared the winner.
The Righteous wanted to consume the essence of the Hardys and use the Wicked Garden as the final stage of their twisted vision. Vincent and Dutch looked completely at home in the chaos, while the Hardys were forced to fight through an environment designed to break them down.
Barbed wire quickly became a major factor. Brother Nero was thrown into it, Matt Hardy was busted open, and both teams used the violent surroundings to punish each other.
The action spilled outside the ring as the match became even more dangerous. Steel steps, barbed wire boards, exposed posts, and the strange floral setup all became part of the destruction.
Matt Hardy tried to fight through blood loss while Brother Nero was wrapped and tangled in barbed wire. The Hardys still managed to hit familiar offense, including a Twist of Fate and a Side Effect, but The Righteous kept surviving.
The most disturbing moment came when Vincent used a poisonous plant against Brother Nero. Jeff Hardy began reacting badly before collapsing, convulsing, and foaming at the mouth as officials rushed to get him medical attention.
That left Broken Matt alone against both members of The Righteous. He fought on instinct, but the numbers and damage were too much.
The Righteous finally finished the match with Death Walks and Orange Sunshine, scoring the victory inside the Wicked Garden.
The win gave Vincent and Dutch exactly what they wanted. They dragged the Hardys into their twisted battlefield, took Brother Nero out of the match, and left Broken Matt fallen in the center of their creation.
The Wicked Garden Match was violent, strange, and unsettling from start to finish. For the Hardys, it may have been one of the most dangerous battles of their legendary careers.
