Matthew (Matt) Moore Hardy (born September 23, 1974) is an American professional wrestler, currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its SmackDown! brand and makes special appearences on the RAW brand and their house shows teaming with his brother Jeff Hardy. He is most noted for being a member of the Hardy Boyz tag team as part of Team Xtreme.
Before his WWF debut with his brother Jeff, Matt was trained by former wrestler Dory Funk, Jr. Before signing with the WWF, Matt and Jeff ran their own wrestling promotion, OMEGA Wrestling, in which Matt competed under the name High Voltage. However, he had to change his name to Surge after a WCW tag team began to use that name. This happened shortly after Matt Hardy sent in a tape for the WCW Amateur Challenge with himself as High Voltage. A few years later, it was revealed to him by Chris Kanyon that the tape had been kept in the WCW Power Plant, watched multiple times and had the name High Voltage stolen from it [citation needed].

It wasn't until 1998 that the brothers were given a full-time WWF contract. The Hardy Boyz used a cruiserweight, fast-paced high flying style in their matches, often leaping from great heights to do damage to their opponents (and themselves in the process). Although Jeff was better known for his extreme moves, Matt was a prodigious high-flier himself. In 1999, the duo feuded with Edge and Christian and spent a short time in the stable The New Brood. After breaking away from Gangrel, Matt and Jeff were briefly managed by Terri Runnels. Subsequently, their Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches with Edge, Christian, and the Dudley Boyz made them extremely popular and propelled them to five reigns as the WWF Tag Team Champions.
In 2001, after Jeff Hardy's Intercontinental Championship run, Matt Hardy was given a singles championship push. Matt Hardy was given the European Championship on SmackDown! two weeks before Backlash 2001. Throughout the year, the Hardyz would continue as a tag team, winning the WWF Tag Titles once again and the WCW Tag Titles during the The Invasion. By the end of the year, the Hardy Boyz were having trouble getting along (kayfabe)
