Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) invited Freddy to its Slammiversary pay-per-view event in Boston at the Agganis Arena. Freddy said the TNA event will be the appetizer to his attendance at Germany’s knockout round match against Paraguay.
“The next two days in Boston will be super exciting. Not only are we going to the Germany match on the 29th, but we’re also going to a wrestling show tomorrow,” he wrote on X. “We’re attending @ThisIsTNA Slammiversary and we might even get the chance to meet Jeff and Matt Hardy. This will be fun!”
TNA responded, “We’re excited to have you at the Agganis Arena tomorrow as we celebrate 24 years of TNA at #TNASlammiversary!”
Matt Hardy, who will be teaming with Jeff Hardy in a four-way ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship, also replied to Freddy.

“I’m so happy you’re enjoying your time in America, @FreddyLA7! Gonna make sure @ThisIsTNA has you all set up for #TNASlammiversary tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting you.”
Freddy’s journey across the U.S. has been one of the World Cup figures taking hold of the tournament off the pitch. The internet has fallen in love with his exploits and his seemingly good-natured demeanor has landed him some incredible experiences.
He was also invited to the White House, Ambassador Nick Adams, who is the Special Presidential Envoy for American, Tourism, Exceptionalism and Values in the Trump administration, confirmed to Fox News Digital earlier this month.
