Matt Hardy

Matthew Moore Hardy (born September 23, 1974) is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is one-half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions in his fourth reign. He also appears in partner promotion WWE on its NXT brand, where he is a former one-time NXT Tag Team Champion. He is also known for his tenure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is also one-half of the HOG Tag Team Champions.

Hardy gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s as one-half of The Hardy Boyz alongside his brother Jeff Hardy. The duo became one of the most successful and influential tag teams in professional wrestling history. They played a pivotal role in popularizing Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) matches during the Attitude Era, and were key figures in the resurgence of WWE’s tag team division. Together, they have held a combined 15 world tag team championships.

In addition to his tag team accomplishments, Hardy has enjoyed a successful singles career. In the early 2000s, he debuted the "Version 1" character, which received critical acclaim and was named Best Gimmick by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in 2003. In 2016, Hardy introduced the "Broken" character during his time in TNA Impact Wrestling, which was similarly praised for its originality and was also awarded Best Gimmick. The character became a cultural phenomenon in wrestling and was later renamed to "Woken" Matt Hardy upon his return to WWE.

Throughout his singles career, Hardy has held the ECW Championship, two TNA World Heavyweight Championships, the United States Championship, Hardcore Championship, European Championship, and Cruiserweight Championship. Across major wrestling organisations, Matt Hardy is a three-time world champion.

Hardy has remained a prominent figure in the wrestling industry across four decades, noted for his adaptability, character work, and creative contributions both in and out of the ring.
