Jeff Jarrett appears at GCW Die 4 This, attacks Effy

Jeff Jarrett made a surprise appearance at tonight’s GCW Die 4 This event, attacking Effy. 

As Effy appeared in the ring to deliver a State of Effy address, the lights in the Showboat Atlantic City in New Jersey lowered. A masked figure in a cowboy hat then appeared in the ring and attacked, hitting Effy over the head with a guitar. Jarrett then removed the hat and mask and made the big reveal. 

Jarrett is currently a podcast personality, hosting the My World show with Conrad Thompson. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the class of 2018. He appeared in the 2019 Royal Rumble match, then again on Raw in February 2019 in a match with Elias. Jarrett then worked as a WWE producer, before he was released by the company in April 2021. 

Jarrett’s last match to date came at a SoCal Pro Wrestling event in April 2019, where he lost to Dr. Wagner Jr. 

Scotty 2 Hotty to face Joey Janela at GCW Die 4 This

A match between Joey Janela and Scotty 2 Hotty has been made for GCW’s Die 4 This on New Year’s Day.

The match was made after Scotty called out Janela on Twitter, who was disappointed his original match with Drew Parker was called off due to changes with Japanese travel restrictions.

“I heard it’s a little cold for baseball in Atlantic City this time of year, but I’m down to take a little batting practice anyways…What do ya think, Bad Boy?” he wrote. GCW then confirmed the match a few hours later.

“Welcome back @TheScotty2Hotty,” Janela replied. “First match in 6 years! Time to burn it down with The Bad Boy in Atlantic City!”

Scotty announced in November that he had requested and was granted a release from WWE, where he had been working as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center since 2016.

Also set for Die 4 This at the Showboat in Atlantic City, New Jersey is Alex Colon vs. John Wayne Murdoch and Calvin Tankman vs. Tracy Williams. Homicide is also slated to be on the show.
