Former WWE Champion Suffers Broken Nose In AEW

WWE/AEW

A update has emerged on former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy after an incident that occurred during a match for AEW Rampage.

Jeff Hardy faced off against Sammy Guevara during Wednesday’s February 14 AEW taping for a match to air tonight, February 16.

Jeff Hardy appeared to suffer an injury during the match, with a fan footage of Jeff taking a knee to the face from Guevara’s shooting star press doing the rounds on social media.

Speaking on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Jeff’s brother and fellow former WWE, now current AEW star Matt Hardy confirmed that Jeff Hardy has a broken nose following the bout.

Addressing the situation, Matt Hardy said:

“It looks like the Sammy Guevara Hardy curse is real. And it lives on. We thought it ended in 2020 but it picked right back up in February 2024. They were having a hell of a match. It’s gonna air on Rampage tonight.

“But they had a great match. And there’s a point where Sammy does a move and his knee catches Jeff in the face. And it definitely rocked Jeff and Jeff for sure has a broken nose and that’s really all we know, they’re still going to undergo some more testing and whatnot to try and find out what his total injury is or would be but we know at right now it’s at a minimum a broken nose.

Matt Hardy notably hit his head during a scary spot in his match against Sammy Guevara at All Out 2020.

Discussing Jeff Hardy’s current status, Matt Hardy revealed that Jeff was able to get home okay, noting:

“Yeah, we travelled together we were on the same flight and flew home. He was great. He was in great spirits. It’s funny because he’s never broken his nose before, which is insane to think about.

“For most pro wrestlers, breaking your nose is a pretty standard thing that happens at some point, especially if you wrestle for three decades like we have. So it was his very first time and bless his heart, I felt so bad for him because I had the one bump where this is over and this like caved in.

“He had a nice nose but it’s like crooked like mine is now. So welcome to the broke Nose Club brother.”

As of writing, the match is still advertised for Friday’s edition of AEW Rampage.

Jeff Hardy joined AEW in early 2022 after being released by WWE in late 2021.
