Injury Update: Jeff Hardy & Umaga
According to WWE.com, Umaga suffered a knee injury at a live event in Johnson City, Tennessee. He has been diagnosed with a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The injury will not require surgery, instead Umaga will rehab the injury and likely be out 4-6 weeks. He will then be re-evaluated at the time to see if the injury has properly healed.
Jeff Hardy was believed to have suffered a broken neck at the Smackdown/ECW tapings this past Tuesday night in Norfolk, VA. Hardy did not wrestle at last night's Supershow event in Rockford, IL and missed a scheduled appearance at Best Buy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. replaced him). Early indications at this point is that Hardy didn't suffer a major injury during his match with Shelton Benjamin, but he did arrive to the tapings with fluid in his elbow that wouldn't drain well. He has been pulled from all weekend house show events and is still scheduled to face MVP at SummerSlam tomorrow night unless plans change.
