Jeff Hardy Has ‘No Recollection’ Of Double Or Nothing Match, Was ‘Almost Knocked Out’

AEW

Matt Hardy has shed some more light on the condition of his brother Jeff Hardy following the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view on May 29.

The Hardys defeated the Young Bucks in the second match of the show, and it was later announced that they’d be teaming with Christian Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus against the Undisputed Elite on Wednesday’s June 1 Dynamite.

However, the match was very quickly changed and Jeff Hardy was replaced by Darby Allin, and Adam Cole was replaced by Hikuleo, believed to be due to injury issues with Hardy and Cole.

Speaking on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt provided an update, saying:

“Yeah, I was happy with the match, especially considering very early on in the match Jeff was almost knocked out. So he got hurt pretty bad. That’s why he’s being pulled from the match in Los Angeles, obviously. So he was kind of running on fumes going through the match. He still held up his end of the bargain pretty good in the big scheme of things.

“He has no recollection. He doesn’t remember the match at all after that happened, so thank god the Young Bucks are the Young Bucks and I’m me and we were… he was literally just a vessel being given directions throughout the match to kind of do what he was supposed to do. So considering he really got knocked loopy terribly at some point earlier in the match, he still did pretty good to go through and do everything he did.

“It’s so funny that he’s just still such a great athlete and so good at what he does. If you’re looking at the Swanton he does on the stairs, he still does it perfectly and he didn’t realize he was supposed to do it until he was told he was supposed to do it.”

Many fans had noticed issues with Jeff throughout the match, and Matt’s explanation there certainly sheds some light on why such issues were present.

We wish Jeff all the best as he continues to recover.
