Matt Hardy Gives Insight Into New TNA Contract

Matt Hardy is excited about the future of TNA Wrestling.

On November 27th it was announced that The Hardys had signed new contracts with TNA Wrestling. While the tag team legends had been appearing for the company in recent months they had technically remained free agents.

Matt returned to TNA in April 2024 for a third spell after his AEW contract expired. After initially chasing the World Championship, he was reunited with his brother Jeff at Bound For Glory after he made his own exit from AEW.

Matt Hardy Lifts Lid On TNA Deal

On the latest episode of his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the star explained why the pair have decided to sign with TNA. Matt said the company has big plans for 2025, and the Tag Team Champions are excited to be involved in what comes next.

The star also confirmed earlier reports that the contracts are for one year.

“I’ve been enlightened with some of the plans that TNA has for 2025 and they are hoping to move to a bigger platform. They are still looking to grow and they have a lot of really cool stuff planned. I love some of the marketing strategies that they have and what not, we’ve had a great relationship working with them.

We talked and we discussed this a couple times over the past couple of months about maybe doing a deal for x amount of dates. They’ve been there every step of the way, everything they’ve said that they were going to do for us, they’ve done, they’ve followed through and came through with it and vice versa, I think we’ve done that for them as well.

So, the relationship has been great. We ended up signing with them for a year, we signed for a year. So, a year from now, we’re gonna be around in TNA. It’s also, we have a great working relationship if there’s anything we want to do on the outside. We just talk with them, get their blessing, we should be cool to do it.

We’re still open and we’re going to still be doing stuff. It gives us some ideas about some cool stuff we can do to kind of evolve the characters and continue to start to re-evolve both Matt and Jeff Hardy in this newest and latest run.

I think having us signed and under contract to TNA is a great pitch if you are going to a TV station or if you’re going to a certain area or market and you’re looking to get more momentum behind you.

Now, we are officially with TNA and we’re both very proud to officially be with TNA and we’re both very excited about the future. 2025 is gonna have a big year.”

The news came after it was announced that TNA had officially signed Léi Yǐng Lee, known to WWE fans as Xia Li.
