It appears that WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy is dealing with another injury. This comes via a report from Jonny Fairplay of the PWTorch Pro Wrestling podcast. Hardy reportedly has a pinched nerve that is causing numbness in his fingers.
Hardy hasn’t been used on SmackDown Live in two weeks and only made a handful of TV appearances in May. He was able to retain his United States Title over Randy Orton at the Backlash pay-per-view (PPV) on May 6th, and a few days later lost a match to The Miz on SmackDown Live.
He hasn’t been seen on TV since his loss to Daniel Bryan on SmackDown Live on May 22nd. Despite not making a ton of TV appearances, Hardy has been working dark matches and live events. He and Daniel Bryan defeated Big Cass and The Miz in Tag Team action after 205 Live tapings this week in a dark match.
Hardy also retained his title against Shelton Benjamin in a pre-show dark match on May 29th in North Caroline. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more on the situation.
