Matthew Moore Hardy[12][13] (born September 23, 1974)[14] is an American professional wrestler currently working as a freelancer, while making appearances for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He is known for his tenures in WWE, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and his first run in TNA. With his brother Jeff, Hardy gained prominence in WWF's tag team division during the 2000s due to his participation in TLC matches.[15] He is a 14-time world tag team champion, having held the WWE World Tag Team Championship six times, the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship three times, the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship, ROH World Tag Team Championship, and WCW Tag Team Championship once each, and the TNA World Tag Team Championships twice.[7] They are considered one of the major teams that revived tag team wrestling during the Attitude Era.[16]
Wrestling through four separate decades, Hardy has kept himself relevant partially through a variety of different gimmicks and his use of social media. In 2002, Hardy began a solo career in WWE. His subsequent "Version 1" persona was named Best Gimmick by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Hardy's eccentric "Broken" gimmick, which he debuted in 2016 (and which was renamed "Woken" following his subsequent WWE return), garnered praise from wrestling critics and earned him multiple awards, including a second Best Gimmick award, becoming one of the most talked about characters in all of wrestling.[17] As a singles wrestler, Hardy has won the (WWE United States Championship), as well as three world championships (one ECW and two TNA World Heavyweight Championships).
