TNA reveals Matt Hardy’s partner for Under Siege Tag Team title match

Matt Hardy has found a partner for his Tag Team title challenge at TNA Under Siege.

At the TNA+ special, Hardy will team up with Leon Slater against champions Nic & Ryan Nemeth. The Nemeths won the TNA Tag Team titles from The Hardy Boyz at Rebellion, but Jeff Hardy is unable to compete at Under Siege due to the show taking place in Canada, where he cannot wrestle because of past legal trouble.

An angle took place on Impact last week where The Nemeths — knowing that Jeff couldn’t cross the border — mockingly told The Hardys they would give them a rematch at Under Siege. TNA authority figure Santino Marella then told The Nemeths that they would have to defend their titles against Matt Hardy and a partner of his choosing. Matt has enlisted the help of the 20-year-old Slater, a Hardy ally who is being mentored by him and Jeff.

Slater, a UK indie star, has been signed to TNA Wrestling since late 2023. He made headlines at Rebellion last month for a high-risk 450 splash spot where his fellow Ultimate X competitors failed to catch him. Slater was not seriously hurt despite the rough landing. Moose won the match to retain the X-Division Championship.

The CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario, Canada is hosting Under Siege on Friday, May 23. Here is the updated lineup:

Joe Hendry & Elijah vs. Trick Williams & Frankie Kazarian
Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich defends against Victoria Crawford (the former Alicia Fox)
TNA Tag Team Champions Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth defend against Matt Hardy & Leon Slater
Eddie Edwards vs. Cody Deaner (Deaner will receive a new TNA contract if he wins)
