We noted before how one half of current SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy appeared to have suffered some sort of injury this past weekend.
At the time there weren’t many details available on his health, however, in the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some update on the former US Champion’s condition.
According to the Newsletter, Hardy suffered an injury in his right knee during the April 20th Live Event from Madison, Wisconsin where the Hardy Boyz defeated the Usos.
He didn’t wrestle on the Live Event from Rochester, MN the next night and instead, he was on his brother Matt Hardy’s corner for a win over Jimmy Uso. Jeff did not get physical during the bout and fans noted that the former World Champion was limping pretty badly.
Hardy then missed Sunday’s WWE Live Event from Sioux City where Matt teamed with R Truth for a bout. It appears that he was pulled from the road afterward as he wasn’t backstage for this week’s episode of SmackDown Live either.
It’s worth mentioning here that Jeff Hardy has had a bad knee since his dirt bike accident in 2015. Jeff broke his leg in the accident and since then the former US Champion has continued working with a torn PCL.
At this point, the severity of Hardy’s injury is not known but there are people backstage who believe that the former TNA Star will require surgery.
If Hardy’s condition is really serious then the company would have to make a decision regarding the titles. If the Officials take the belts off them in coming weeks then it could be an indication of him undergoing a surgery in near future.
