Matt Hardy vs. Nick Gage announced for GCW Now & Forever

Matt Hardy has his work cut out for him in GCW.

It was announced on Tuesday that Hardy will face Nick Gage at GCW Now & Forever this Friday in Cleveland, Ohio. 

Earlier this month, it was announced that Hardy would be working multiple GCW events, with Now & Forever being his debut. Hardy discussed his first match on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast.

“I think it’s really exciting that they announced it — that Matt Hardy’s going to be there — and I think once you find out who I’m wrestling, people are going to go even more nuts,” he said. “And then it’s going to lead to some other stuff. And I think it’s going to be really cool. I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Gage’s match on Friday will be his first since June, when he defeated Orin Veidt in a death match.

The current card for Now & Forever:

  • Mance Warner in action
  • Joey Janela in action
  • Effy vs. Raj Dhesi (Jinder Mahal)
  • CPF vs. Davey Bang & August Matthews
  • Maki Itoh vs. John Wayne Murdoch
