Matt Hardy making GCW debut at Now and Forever
Matt Hardy will wrestle his first match under the GCW banner on the night before WWE SummerSlam.
GCW has announced Hardy for the Now and Forever event set for Friday, August 2 in Cleveland. The promotion revealed the news in a social media post promoting the card.
Hardy’s opponent for Now and Forever has yet to be announced.
Zilla Fatu vs. Josh Bishop, plus appearances from Mance Warner, Joey Janela, Maki Itoh, Nick Gage, Matt Cardona, Gringo Loco, and Bussy are also set for the August 2 show.
Hardy left AEW and hit free agency following his contract expiration in April of this year. He showed up in TNA at Rebellion on April 20 and was immediately inserted into the top mix, challenging Moose for the TNA World title at Against All Odds on June 14.
Since challenging for the TNA title, Matt and Jeff have reunited as a tag team in TNA, including challenging for the company’s Tag Team titles on Impact set to air this Thursday.
Hardy has also revived his popular Broken Universe as part of TNA programming, including facing The System at The Hardy Family Compound on Impact last month.
