Last night The Hardy Boyz were forced to vacate the Smackdown Tag Team Championships after Jeff Hardy announced that he would be undergoing surgery to repair his right knee.
The Charismatic Enigma spoke with WWE after the show to provide even more information, confirming that he will be out of action for a full 6-9 months, with a consistent with most knee injuries.
While WWE is playing up Lars Sullivan as the storyline reason for the injury, and that is obviously not true, the information about having lingering issues for several years, and having to replace essentially his whole right knee is accurate.
The good news is that Hardy said he’s been dealing with these problems for a very long time now, and expects that if the surgery and the rehab goes well, he will return to the ring (likely sometime next year) better than he has been in at least four years.
