Matt Hardy was sent to the hospital before eventually being cleared by doctors and then showed up on AEW Dynamite to reveal he had no serious injuries, but needed time to recuperate. On his Saturday Night Special, Chris Jericho said that he was scared when Hardy and Sammy Guevara fell.

"We should have more tables out there and some pads on the floor and the guys were brave. And thankfully, Matt was not hurt no matter what you hear. He did not have a concussion. He was hurt. Banged his head. But the match ended very quickly after that. And you know, no one really knows what's going on with that. Thankfully, Matt wasn't hurt. And he was on the show, this week, and I'm sure he'll be on the show next week. And for many weeks to come."
