The Hardy Boyz, Matt and Jeff Hardy, are scheduled to appear live at Game Changer Wrestling’s (GCW) Hit Em Up event on Friday, August 1, during SummerSlam weekend. This special appearance will take place at the Williams Center in Rutherford, New Jersey, marking their highly anticipated return to GCW. The event will be broadcast live on TrillerTV+.
Details Surrounding the Hardy Boyz’s GCW Participation
Although the Hardy Boyz are advertised as part of the Hit Em Up card, no official announcement has been made regarding their opponents or whether they will compete in a wrestling match or appear in a non-wrestling role. Both Matt and Jeff Hardy have experience with GCW, with Jeff making his debut in 2023 and Matt participating in select independent wrestling events this year. Recently, the brothers teamed up for a victory over Terrell and Terrence Dudley, the sons of D-Von Dudley, at the For The Culture event co-promoted by GCW in April.
SummerSlam Weekend Activities Beyond GCW
In addition to their GCW engagement, the Hardy Boyz will appear at WrestleCon’s convention held in Newark, New Jersey, from August 1 to 2. There, they will connect with fans through autograph sessions and photo opportunities. Following this, the duo is slated to wrestle for Limitless Wrestling in Maine on August 9, continuing their summer schedule beyond New Jersey.
Recent Success and Future Rivalry Announced
Their GCW appearance follows a significant achievement at the recent TNA Slammiversary event, where the Hardy Boyz won the TNA Tag Team Championship in an intense four-way ladder match. This victory sets the stage for a highly anticipated showdown against The Dudley Boyz, teased as the final confrontation at TNA Bound for Glory this coming October, adding to the excitement across wrestling communities.
