Is Matt Hardy dead? A bizarre Facebook post falsely announcing the 51-year-old WWE superstar’s passing has gone viral, forcing the wrestler to dismiss the death hoax.
A fake Facebook page under the name Bill Goldberg shared the fake news and wrote: “Gone but never forgotten. Matt Hardy (1972-2026).
He also paid tribute to the veteran wrestler, stating: “Matt Hardy, a soul of passion and creation. From broken dreams to an immortal legacy. Every scar tells a story, every match a memory. Your spirit resonates through wrestling forever. Rest in peace, legend… you live in our hearts.”
The post gained significant traction and racked up over 2,000 comments and over 1,600 shares on the platform.
Matt Hardy has now come forward to dismiss the hoax.
One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions shared a video on Instagram and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the rumors are not true. The Hardy Boyz are not dead because Matt and Jeff Hardy will not die! We are both alive and well and will be present tonight in the main event of TNA IMPACT starting at 9 pm ET on AMC.”
Hardy said they would team up with The Righteous to take on The System. He warned The Righteous to do the right thing and not betray the Hardy brothers.
The American professional wrestler said that many people had approached him about the concerning posts, prompting him to address the rumors publicly.
