Matt Hardy is going to be out for between 1 and 3 months after undergoing an emergency appendectomy last night in Tampa, FL. Hardy did not wrestle at the Survivor Series event on Sunday, and while that appeared to be an injury angle, last night’s surgery for sure was not. Below is the article as it appeared on WWE.com last night.
TAMPA, Fla. – SmackDown Superstar Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy at a Tampa area hospital tonight. Doctors expect the surgery to keep Hardy out of action anywhere from 1-3 months.
An appendectomy by definition is the removal of the appendix from the lower right area of the abdomen. Oftentimes, if the surgery is not performed immediately, severe consequences can follow.
Hardy’s emergency surgery comes less than a week after suffering a knee injury at the hands of his former partner, the United States Champion MVP. Did the attack by MVP help lead to the appendectomy that Hardy underwent tonight?
