Jeff Hardy Dealing With Injury

One-half of the Smackdown Tag Team Champions is on the shelf with an injury at the moment. According to comments made recently on Wrestling Observer Radio, Jeff Hardy is currently dealing with an injury.

“Jeff Hardy is injured, I don’t know how severe,” said Dave Meltzer. “It was in the Saturday night show in Madison, Wisconsin.”

“Last night in Rochester, Minnesota he was in the corner of Matt. He was limping significantly so it’s probably some sort of leg injury.”

The Hardy Boyz defeated the Usos on the April 9th edition of Smackdown to win the brand’s tag team championships. They successfully defended the titles this weekend on the Madison, WI house show on April 20th. The following night with Jeff out of action Matt Hardy defeated Jey Uso in single’s action. Last night, Matt Hardy teamed with R-Truth and defeated Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows on a house show from Sioux City, Iowa.

The Smackdown tag team division took a bit of a hit in the SuperStar shakeup. The Usos were drafted to RAW and with Cesaro now on Monday nights now as well, the Bar is no longer in the division either. Also, the members of New Day seem more interested in single’s gold nowadays. That is 3 championships teams which are no longer pursuing the Smackdown tag belts.

The Superstar shakeup left the Hardyz with just Nakamura & Rusev, Heavy Machinery, and Anderson & Gallows left as the only remaining active teams in the division.
