John Morrison teams with Matt Hardy at AAA Triplemania XXX Tijuana

John Morrison appeared at Lucha Libre AAA’s Triplemania XXX Tijuana tonight as Matt Hardy’s tag team partner.

A video aired during tonight’s show with Matt Hardy apologizing for Jeff Hardy not being able to make it to Tijuana for their match against Dragonlistico and Dragon Lee. He then introduced “Johnny Hardy”, John Morrison, as his tag team partner for tonight. The two went on to lose to Lee and Dragonlistico in the main event of tonight’s show after Morrison turned on Hardy, laying him out with the moonlight drive.

After the match, Hardy laid out Morrison with the twist of fate. The show ended with Hardy, Dragonlistico, and Lee celebrating together.

Jeff Hardy was pulled from Triplemania this week after being arrested Monday morning for a DUI charge in Florida. The following day, AEW indefinitely suspended Jeff without pay until he “completes treatment and maintains his sobriety”. AAA then announced that Matt Hardy would be teaming with a surprise partner at Triplemania.

Jeff was originally set to team with his brother against Jurassic Express and The Young Bucks in a three-way ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team titles on this week’s Dynamite. The Hardys were pulled from Dynamite after Jeff’s arrest.
