Yes, the rumors are true, I had some major surgery a couple of day ago. The triple threat match against MVP and Kofi in Green Bay was the straw that broke the camel&#8217;s back. In a few days, I&#8217;m gonna blog on my WWE Universe page and fill everyone in on everything,&#8221; wrote Hardy on his MySpace blog.<\/p>\n<p>Hardy explained that he has been working through a slight abdominal tear for the past two years; a recent appendectomy exacerbated the injury, and his intestines began pushing through his abdominal wall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The night in Green Bay, when Kofi gave me a cross body from the top rope, my intestines exploded out through my abdominal wall.. And not just in one spot, but in two spots. I had to have it fixed, or face major health problems.. Problems that could have killed me. So as always, I do what&#8217;s good for me, my career, friends, and loved ones,&#8221; added Hardy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\matt hardy&#038;iid=4532768\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/d\/5\/c\/d\/PicImg_WWE__Wrestlemania_f0f2.JPG?adImageId=1817340&#038;imageId=4532768\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"WWE - Wrestlemania - Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Matt Hardy Talks Injury, Says He Could Have Died<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Matt Hardy finally confirmed industry reports of his abdominal injury and surgery, noting that his injury could have been life-threatening. &quot;Well guys and\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/06\/matt-hardy-talks-injury-says-he-could-have-died\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Matt Hardy Talks Injury, Says He Could Have Died\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Matt Hardy finally confirmed industry reports of his abdominal injury and surgery, noting that his injury could have been life-threatening. &quot;Well guys and\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/06\/matt-hardy-talks-injury-says-he-could-have-died\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-07-07T03:56:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/d\/5\/c\/d\/PicImg_WWE__Wrestlemania_f0f2.JPG?adImageId=1817340&imageId=4532768\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/06\/matt-hardy-talks-injury-says-he-could-have-died\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/06\/matt-hardy-talks-injury-says-he-could-have-died\/\",\"name\":\"Matt Hardy Talks Injury, Says He Could Have Died\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-07-07T03:56:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-07-07T03:56:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Matt Hardy finally confirmed industry reports of his abdominal injury and surgery, noting that his injury could have been life-threatening. \\\"Well guys and\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/06\/matt-hardy-talks-injury-says-he-could-have-died\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
