Jeff Hardy confirmed the reports of his injury on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live and he and his brother Matt Hardy vacated the SmackDown Tag Team Championship due to his condition.
While Jeff didn’t provide a lot of details on his injury during the segment, he revealed an approximate time table for his return in the post-show interview.
Dasha Fuentes interviewed the Charismatic Enigma after this week’s episode of SmackDown Live went off air and she asked what’s next for him after vacating the tag titles.
Replying to her question, Hardy revealed that the surgery to repair the damage in his knee is scheduled to take place in a couple of days. While he didn’t provide any specific details on his condition, Hardy claimed that he is going to have his whole right knee repaired.
Continuing on the topic, the former World Champion revealed a time table for his return, saying that he hopes the first four months of his recovery will go well and that he will be out for six to nine months.
This timetable means that we can expect Jeff Hardy to stay out of action for the most part of the remaining year. He will most likely return some time during the WrestleMania season next year.
As we noted before, Jeff Hardy suffered an injury during the April 20th Live Event from Madison, Wisconsin. A more precise timetable for his return should be revealed after his surgery and we’ll keep you posted on his status.
