After capturing the TNA World Heavyweight championship on Sunday night at Bound For Glory, Matt Hardy has announced he is vacating the title.
Ethan Carter III announced on Monday that he has filed an injunction against TNA as a result of how Hardy won the title. The injunction would prevent Hardy from appearing on TNA television with the belt and Matt decided the TNA audience deserves a champion who can be present on Impact Wrestling.
TNA will be issuing a statement on Wednesday about the future of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
REPORT – TNA Officials just learned the first available court date in @EthanCarterTNA/@MATTHARDYBRAND injunction case.
More to come…

Just heard from the TNA legal department concerning EC3's injunction against me. The first court date is months away. This isn't good news.
