AEW stars Jeff Hardy and Adam Cole have been removed from what was supposed to be a ten-man tag team match this upcoming Wednesday at Dynamite in Los Angeles, California.
Hardy and Cole came off victorious in their respective matches last night at Double or Nothing 2022 in Las Vegas. The Charismatic Enigma teamed up with his brother, Matt Hardy, to outlast The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Meanwhile, The Panama City Playboy became the inaugural winner of the Owen Hart Foundation men's tournament when he defeated Samoa Joe in the finals.
The ten-man tag was scheduled during the pay-per-view and initially featured The Hardys, Christian and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus) facing The Undisputed Elite (The Young Bucks, Cole, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly).
AEW later tweeted an update that showed that the bout has become an eight-man tag team match, as Jeff and Adam have been excluded from the equation.

No clear details were provided about their removal, but Jeff is apparently banged up. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that the fan-favorite star is in rough shape in the aftermath of his extreme match with Darby Allin.

The Charismatic Enigma is known for his high-risk offense, but these stunning maneuvers are quite risky for the former champion.
Matt Hardy was amazed by Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb
Following the pay-per-view, Matt Hardy took to Twitter to express his awe over the Swanton Bomb of his brother Jeff Hardy.
The older Hardy revealed that his younger brother made the risky move on the steel steps to Matt Jackson despite having a broken boot.
For now, it will be interesting to see what the real status of Adam and Jeff will be and whether they will be featured in the program despite getting pulled from the bout.
