One of the top wrestlers to transition from WWE to AEW was Jeff Hardy. The seasoned superstar departed from WWE to reunite with his brother Matt Hardy. Just as Hardy was regaining his wrestling form, AEW Superstar Sammy Guevara halted his progress by inadvertently injuring him during a match.
According to PWInsider, the incident occurred last Wednesday while AEW was recording AEW Rampage. The Charismatic Enigma faced off against Guevara, who attempted a shooting star press but unfortunately landed his knee on Hardy’s nose, breaking it.
Following the blow to his nose, the Enigmatic Soul appeared disoriented and unable to continue the match. Nevertheless, the 46-year-old still attempted to execute the twist of fate but received a GTH in return. Despite this, the 30-year-old emerged victorious, defeating one of the biggest stars in AEW.

During the commercial break, fans noticed Matt Hardy standing next to his brother, checking on his well-being. The Hardys expressed their displeasure towards Sammy Guevara with inappropriate gestures after the injury occurred. With Jeff now sidelined for the time being, the 3-time AEW TNT Champion is facing criticism from wrestling fans.
The Legend Thriller has had one of the most controversial careers in the history of wrestling, having been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence. He has also faced charges of drug trafficking and public intoxication. Brother Nero has openly acknowledged his struggles with alcoholism and has sought rehabilitation.
His recent comeback has been a significant storyline for him. Unfortunately, Jeff had to be put on the sidelines after being injured by an associate of Sammy Guevara. As he undergoes surgery for his broken nose, his motivation to return may diminish after putting in so much effort.
It appears that the Rainbow-Haired Warrior may have had his final run unless he decides to end his career on a positive note. He was involved in a 6-man tag team match alongside Matt Hardy and Private Party before reportedly walking out of the match. Throughout his career, Hardy has portrayed various iconic wrestlers with different characters and gimmicks. Fans hope for his speedy recovery as he makes his way back to the ring.
