As noted by Wrestling Rumors last week, the TNA and Global Force Wrestling invasion angle officially kicked off on “IMPACT WRESTLING” this past week, with GFW head honcho Jeff Jarrett bringing a plethora of his talent into the IMPACT Zone. And now, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy is advertised for a Global Force Wrestling event in North Carolina.

The tapings for the program also saw the return of Hardy, as he recovered from a major leg injury that left him sidelined for a few months. And now, a press release from Jarrett’s promotion has advertised Hardy appearing for GFW.

The release reads as followed:

Former WWE and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy will be making a SPECIAL VIP APPEARANCE when the #GFWGrandSlamTour heads to Winston-Salem, NC at BB&T Ballpark, the home of the Winston-Salem Dash.

Other names confirmed for Winston-Salem include: The Killer Elite Squad (Lance Hoyt and Davey Boy Smith, Jr.) and Tessa Blanchard, the daughter of the founding member of the Four Horseman Tully Blanchard. More talent will be announced soon.

It is unknown whether Hardy will physically perform for GFW, as that has been the case for several TNA talent thus far. Names like Bobby Roode and Eric Young have been present within the GFW realm, and it is seemingly possible that there is a sort of talent exchange going on between the two brands.

Last month, Jarrett opened up about his brand’s new television tapings, and noted there was a possibility both GFW and TNA could combine for co-branded programming going forward. With rumors of “IMPACT’s” impending cancellation on Destination America, it is possible there will be more collaboration between the two sides going forward, despite how the actual angle plays out on television in the coming months.

Editor’s Note

Hardy is a major attraction wherever he goes, so this is a pretty good get for GFW, even if only for autograph signing. Will he ever appear in the ring for them?
