TNA's Matt Hardy On Jeff Hardy: 'I Think He's Maybe Going To Take Some Time Off'

As TNA prepares to go on their annual Canadian tour in November, Jeff Hardy is preparing to take time off. It's customary for Hardy to be written out whenever TNA travels internationally due to his past legal issues. However, he is also dealing with legitimate health issues.

On an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt detailed some health issues his brother is dealing with. He was joking about what his next character would be if Jeff took a little time off. The Hardys booked the October 15 episode of iMPACT to celebrate 35 years in the professional wrestling business. He joked that Booker Matt could be his next character.

"Its going to be interesting to see what my next character is going to be, especially if Jeff takes a little time off to try and work on his neck a little bit. That may be happening, I guess we'll see."

"That nagging — it's been a year now since he's had this bulging disc. It's just been bugging him. ... I think he's done everything he can do in his power. I think maybe he's going to take some time off and see what he can do to get it fixed up and correct it as much as possible."

Prior to TNA heading north, The Hardys will take part in the Chris Jericho Rock 'N' Rager at Sea November 7-11. For the first time ever, "AEW Collision" will be live from the Jericho Cruise. TNA Destination X is scheduled for November 15 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
