“Had Surgery”: Matt Hardy Provides Injury Update on Brother Jeff After Tony Khan Suspends Sammy Guevara for Injuring Him

The Hardy Boyz have garnered a reputation for taking things to an extreme whenever they are inside the ring. While they usually make it out without a scratch, sometimes they aren’t so lucky. Jeff Hardy suffered the ignominy of suffering a severe injury in February. Hardy broke his nose after encountering a botch that wasn’t tended to in the right way. Nevertheless, this practice didn’t meet the expected safety standards that wrestling promotions follow in the modern era.

Jeff Hardy has been absent from AEW since mid-February. While fans expressed their concerns about his condition, his brother Mat Hardy provided fans with a positive update.

Jeff Hardy had competed in a taped match of AEW Rampage, which was filmed right after the February 14 episode of AEW Dynamite. In the match, he went against Sammy Guevara. Unfortunately, he encountered a brutal botch. Guevara hit Hardy with his knee, which ended up breaking his nose.

Reports suggested that Guevara did not follow the specified concussion protocols. Moreover, Guevara delivered his finisher to Jeff Hardy, which shouldn’t have happened. It is important for pro wrestlers to follow protocols and AEW has aimed to make an example out of the 30-year-old. Due to this mistake, Guevara has been suspended from AEW.
