PHOTOS: Matt Hardy’s First Post-WWE Match

December 9, 2010

Matt Hardy has wrestled his very first post-WWE match.

The former WWE Superstar returned to action over the weekend at Blizzard Brawl 6, a show presented by Great Lakes Championship Wrestling in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Hardy wrestled Shawn “Sheik Abdul Basir” Daivari, with Ken Anderson as the referee. The match was originally scheduled to be Hardy vs Anderson, but Anderson has been out of action due to a concussion suffered because of an errant chair shot by Matt’s brother, the current TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy.
