Jeff Hardy got injured at Double Or Nothing

Jeff Hardy who is the younger brother of Matt Hardy is known to be a daredevil in the ring thanks to his high-risk move set. So, it should come as no surprise when reports of him getting injured emerge. At AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view, viewers noticed Jeff Hardy looking banged up and seemingly not at 100 per cent in the tag team match against the Young Bucks. Later on, it was announced that Jeff would not appear on Dynamite and that got people talking about whether he had suffered an injury. 

His tag team partner, Matt Hardy, who is also his brother gave an update on the condition of Jeff on the latest episode of The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast. He said, “I was happy with the match, especially considering very early on in the match Jeff was almost knocked out. He got hurt pretty bad, that’s why he was pulled from the match in Los Angeles, obviously, so he was kind of running on fumes going through the match. So he held up his end of the bargain pretty good in the big scheme of things.”
