According to Dave Meltzer, Matt Hardy has been released from the hospital following a bump at Saturday’s AEW All Out that saw the veteran hit his head on a concrete floor, one that has raised red flags as to how the organization handled letting him continue afterward.
Hardy’s wife, Reby, gave an update on Hardy Sunday morning, tweeting at 8 AM Eastern that “They needed additional imaging done after his CT. He’s still in the hospital. 1000% concussion. Anyone with eyes could have told you that tho.” accompanied by a video of the bump.
Bryan Alvarez tweeted in the afternoon that he heard all scans came out clean.
In a reply to Orlando-based sports reporter Jon Alba in which he questioned how AEW said Hardy cleared their concussion protocol, Reby said, “Gee, I wonder. Could it be the company trying to justify and protect itself from backlash or the family with no stake in this who now has to deal with the repercussions? I guess we’ll never know.” She later said her frustrations wasn’t directed at Alba but to those who are trying to be experts in a situation they aren’t experts in.
In his match with Sammy Guevara, Hardy was speared off a scissor lift and hit his head on the concrete floor as he missed a table set up for the spot. After being checked by the doctor, he eventually was allowed to continue after several minutes, a decision later explained by Dr. Michael Sampson that caused much discussion afterward.
Reby tweeted Saturday night after the incident: “Let me be absolutely f*cking clear. There is NOTHING entertaining about a concussion. Shame on everyone in that goddamn building.”

In the post-event media scrum, AEW president Tony Khan attempted to further explain that Sampson cleared Hardy after “a concussion protocol test” and that Hardy couldn’t have overruled the doctor and continued to compete if Sampson didn’t clear him.
