WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy has been known to pull of dangerous moves and this year Hardy has dealt with a number of injuries. In fact, he is suffering from not just one, but two injuries at the same time.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jeff Hardy has been working house shows with a pinched nerve and a leg injury. He has not been using his finishing move the Swanton Bomb at live events, as a way of WWE protecting him by booking him in very short matches at live events so he can work through his injuries. Jeff did use the move during his match with SAnitY this past SmackDown Live, however.
Hardy suffered a leg injury while doing his entrance at the May 17 SmackDown Live tapings in a dark match against The Miz. Hardy was able to compete and won the match.
Hardy is reportedly dealing with numbness in his fingers because of the nerve injury.
Hardy was set to defend his US Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura last SmackDown but Nakamura himself was out with injuries after a police dog bit him.
