A first-ever matchup is happening on the August 16th edition of AEW Dynamite.
Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett announced on tonight’s Rampage that he will face Jeff Hardy at the event in the first-ever Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match. This match is being done due to a sponsorship with the soon to be released Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game.
In conjunction with @TXChainSawGame, THIS WEDNESDAY on #AEWDynamite, the FIRST-EVER Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match Championship will go down between @RealJeffJarrett and @JEFFHARDYBRAND!
