Bad news of Jeff Hardy fans: It has been announced on The Wrestling Observer that he will have to g0 under the knife for a second knee surgery that could keep him out of the ring until late in 2016. If you recall, Jeff severely injured his knee in a dirt biking accident a number of months ago.

Although there will be no way to tell how long he will be out until after the surgery, it turns out that Jeff has considered toning down his high risk in-ring style. Recently, Jeff & his brother Matt were in the news because of a twitter exchange between Bubba Ray Dudley & Matt Hardy, teasing a possible showdown at next year’s WrestleMania between the two teams.

With the news of this surgery taking place, that now seems highly unlikely.
