The Hardy brothers worked as enhancement talents for the WWF from 1994, and were signed to full-time contracts in 1998.

With the addition of Lita, the team became known as "Team Xtreme" and continued to rise in popularity. Alongside Matt, Jeff has held twelve world tag team championships between WWE, TNA and ROH.
