A week ago at AEW Dynamite, Matt Hardy promised that he would “break” Sammy Guevara at AEW All Out. However, at the PPV, things went haywire as he was the one who was dealt with a concussion during the Broken Rules match. In the mid-part of the match, Matt Hardy tried to throw Sammy Guevara off a scissor lift, but The Spanish God countered with a spear and Matt Hardy ended up smashing his head in the concrete below. Even though he somehow won the match, Matt Hardy was rushed to a hospital afterwards.

Later, Matt Hardy’s wife Reby took to Twitter and slammed AEW for letting the match continue after the incident. “There is NOTHING entertaining about a concussion. Shame on everyone in that g***amn building,” wrote Reby. After getting heat from Reby and thousands of fans, AEW President Tony Khan took to Twitter and gave an update on Matt Hardy’s health. Khan revealed that Hardy has been discharged from the hospital and would be appearing on this week’s AEW Dynamite.
