Matt Hardy Confirms Jeff Hardy Suffered Broken Nose Injury

As noted before, Jeff Hardy suffered a head-related injury that was later revealed to be a broken nose during his match against Sammy Guevara during this past Wednesday’s tapings for AEW Rampage in Cedar Park, Texas.

In a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, co-host Matt Hardy confirmed that his brother did suffer a broken nose injury and he will be undergoing more testing to determine his full injury diagnosis.

“It looks like the Sammy Guevara-Hardy curse is real. It lives on. We thought it ended in 2020, but it picked back up in 2024. They were having a hell of a match, it’s going to air on Rampage. They have a great match, and there is a point where Sammy does a move, and his knee catches Jeff in the face. It definitely rocked Jeff, and Jeff for sure has a broken nose, that’s really all we know. They’re still going to undergo some more testing and what not to try and find out what his total injury is or would be. We know, right now, it’s at a minimum a broken nose.”

Hardy also stated that his brother Jeff was in good spirits backstage after the match and that this was the first time he had suffered a broken nose injury during his career.
