The Hardy Boyz squared off against The Dudleys in a Tag Team Unification Steel Cage Match at Survivor Series. The Hardys came in as the World Tag Team Champions, while The Dudleys were the WCW Tag Team Champions. It looked as if the Hardy Boyz had the match in the bag. Matt Hardy had already escaped, and Jeff was climbing right behind him. When he got to the top, though, Jeff decided to land a Swanton Bomb on D-Von through a table. He may have taken out D-Von, but the move also proved to be damaging to Jeff. The Dudleys capitalized and got the pin to unify the titles. It was the sixth World Tag Team Championship for the Dudleys.

It was The Dudleys' seventh World Tag Team Championship, but they were only able to hold onto the titles for about 24 hours as they lost them the next night on Raw back to Storm & Regal.
