Matt Hardy gets busted open on AEW Dynamite, claims "that literally could have killed me"

On the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, Sammy Guevara attacked Matt Hardy to hype up their ongoing feud. The two superstars brawled for a couple of minutes before things took a bloody turn. Sammy Guevara hit Matt Hardy with a chair which opened a huge gash on Hardy’s forehead. According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio, the wrestling legend suffered a severe injury because the Cuban-American star attacked him with the wrong chair. Instead of using the usual fold-up chair, Guevara picked up a real “bulkier” chair to attack Hardy. Alvarez reports that Matt Hardy was taken to the hospital soon after, where he received 13 stitches.
