The appearance will be Hardy’s GCW debut along with his first time sharing a ring with Gage.
Hardy rejoined the TNA roster in May, coming over following a multi-year run in AEW. He has appeared in singles storylines while also competing alongside his brother Jeff Hardy in tag matches. At Slammiversary last weekend, Hardy overcame JDC in a sub-five-minute contest.
Gage, a long-time star of GCW, has been out of action since last month when he beat Orin Viedt in a deathmatch. He was previously expected to appear on a doubleheader of shows earlier this month in Indiana but had to be pulled due to injury.
Friday’s GCW card includes many other big names, including Maki Itoh, Joey Janela, and Gringo Loco.
