The first-ever Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match has been announced for the August 16 episode of AEW Dynamite.

In a promo on the August 11 episode of AEW Rampage, Jeff Jarrett announced that, in conjunction with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre videogame, he will face Jeff Hardy in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match. He referred to it as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match Championship, but it is not clear whether they will compete for a title. Jarrett also teased that Leatherface "just might be in the house."
