Although fans weren’t pleased with the match Warner Brothers Discovery executes were reportedly pleased with how the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Deathmatch unfolded on AEW Dynamite.
Things took an unexpected turn during the recent episode of Dynamite as Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett faced off in a thrilling Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match.
The promotional bout was a spectacle, featuring a wide array of elements including tables, chairs, backstage brawling, outside interference, copious amounts of “blood”, and a special appearance by the iconic Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. However, the match’s success extended beyond the ring.
According to PWInsider, Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of AEW, expressed immense satisfaction with the match. The match has impressed executives at WBD so much that they expect more promotional collaboration opportunities for AEW going forward.
In addition to the match’s entertainment value, it also served a noble cause. All of the proceeds generated from the bout, estimated to be in the six-figure range, will be donated to the Maui Food Bank. This charitable initiative aims to provide support to those affected by the devastating wildfires in Maui. AEW’s commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond the realm of professional wrestling.
The philanthropic efforts will continue in the upcoming events AEW Rampage on Friday and AEW Collision on Saturday will also contribute to the cause, ensuring that the assistance reaches those in need.
