WWE News: Jeff Hardy injury update

What’s the story?

Well, it's not been a great week for Jeff Hardy after he was charged with a DWI and reportedly will be sent to rehab before being allowed to return to the ring, but finally there's been some good news for the Charismatic Enigma as he is now injury free.

In case you didn’t know…

Jeff Hardy suffered a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff last September but his recovery from injury hasn't kept him out of the headlines as he was charged for driving while intoxicated after being involved in a car accident on Saturday in Concord, North Carolina.

Hardy has been out of action since September after only returning at WrestleMania last year, but is rumoured to be returning in a cameo role during Bray Wyatt and Woken Matt Hardy's Ultimate Deletion "match" next week on Raw - although there have been rumours that Jeff may be edited out of the footage following Saturday's incident.

The heart of the matter

Jeff Hardy posted on Instagram today thanking medical staff for helping to make his injury "obsolete" less than six months after suffering the setback.

What’s next?

The Ultimate Deletion is scheduled to air on next week’s edition of RAW, which takes place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on 19 March.

The match was filmed at The Hardy Compound last week and is said to feature cameos from several characters from the "Broken" Universe as seen in Impact Wrestling, including Brother Nero, also known as Jeff Hardy.

Author’s take

Jeff Hardy's immediate future is unclear and he has suffered from substance abuse in the past, but at least this is some good news for the Charismatic Enigma after what has most likely been a very challenging week for Hardy.
