TNA wrestling just posted a video where Matt Hardy has vacated the TNA championship.
The storyline is that Ethan Carter III got an injunction that prohibited Hardy from appearing on the show claiming that Dixie Carter was in collusion with the Hardys to stack the deck against him.
Hardy claimed that while he hates to do it, that because it would be months before a court date and he couldn’t appear during that period, the best thing for the good of the company was for him to relinquish the title. The story of the championship is meant as a ratings hook for tomorrow night’s show.
TNA did tape a tournament early in its last tapings so that could be how the championship ends up being determined.
