AEW got paid big bucks for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre matchup that we saw on AEW Dynamite.
The matchup was an interesting one to say the least on Wednesday evening as Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett battled in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre Deathmatch. The match featured several references to the horror franchise, as the match was sponsored by the upcoming video game release for the IP.
The match would end up even including Leatherface, who came out with a chainsaw as the match reached its final stretch. He would chase away Karen Jarrett during his spot, with him having little actual effect on the matchup.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that AEW got “over $100,000 for that sponsorship.” This is an incredible amount of money when you consider that Tony Khan has already announced all sponsorship money will be going towards the Maui wildfires aid.
Prior to the matchup, Jeff Jarrett confirmed that Leatherface would show up during the matchup on Wednesday.
Jarrett would end up scoring the victory after Satnam Singh chokeslammed Hardy.
