WWE have booked a series of matches between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt for 205 Live's upcoming house show tour, as announced on their official website last night.

Running from January 19th-21st, the three shows will also feature WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore defending his belt against Kalisto, with Raw's Nia Jax as special referee. The soon-to-debut Hideo Itami will also wrestle at the events.

There's no word on why Wyatt vs. Hardy has been added to the shows, but the move is in line with previous reports that WWE were looking to bring more non-Cruiserweight wrestlers into the 205 Live fold. The likes of Sasha Banks, Alicia Fox, and Titus O'Neil have all featured on the brand this year, but Hardy and Wyatt are the two biggest names to cross over thus fa.

The feud is only a few weeks old, but has spawned WWE's version of Hardys' Broken Universe, with the former Raw Tag Team Champion 'Woken' through his interactions with 'The Eater Of Worlds.' The 205 Live show dates suggest it will continue through January, with a Royal Rumble (28th) singles match a clear possibility.
