Matt Hardy Has Emergency Surgery Tonight

Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy in a Tampa, Fla. hospital tonight. He was scheduled to appear at tonight's SmackDown taping, but this suddenly came up. Hardy's expected to be out of action for one to three months. Hardy didn't appear at the tapings, so this health issue surfaced earlier in the day.

Here is WWE.com's official announcement regarding his appendectomy:

TAMPA, Fla. – SmackDown Superstar Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy at a Tampa area hospital tonight. Doctors expect the surgery to keep Hardy out of action anywhere from 1-3 months.

An appendectomy by definition is the removal of the appendix from the lower right area of the abdomen. Oftentimes, if the surgery is not performed immediately, severe consequences can follow.

Hardy’s emergency surgery comes less than a week after suffering a knee injury at the hands of his former partner, the United States Champion MVP. Did the attack by MVP help lead to the appendectomy that Hardy underwent tonight?

Stay tuned to WWE.com for updates on Matt Hardy’s condition.

Hope he comes back soon. I'm not a huge fan of him, but he does get the pops a face should get and he's a decent mid-carder.

Smackdown is going to be lonely without him.

Poor Matt! The past few months have not been kind to him.

i hope he comes back soon, hes a great wrestler

I hope he gets well soon.

i read wwe articles says Matt out rings for 1-3 months and he cant fights for several months so he will speed recovery for 1-3 months till improvement they he can fight at rings.

is there going to be a day when the all the WWE wrestlers are going to be fine, or how come it seems like someone always has to be injured.
