AEW star Matt Hardy provides an update on Jeff Hardy

AEW wrestler Matt Hardy recently gave an update on his brother Jeff's condition and hinted at his return to the ring.

On the latest edition of the "Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" podcast, he revealed that Jeff Hardy had recently undergone eye surgery and was expected to make a full recovery in a few weeks.

"He just had some eye surgery, and he's recovering, probably a few weeks out from being fully physical, but hopefully, sooner than later, he'll be up for doing physical stuff again. He did sneak away with his family and go on a little vacation for a few days, which is nice. He's in a really good place in life and I think he's very happy where he's at. It makes me very proud of him and it also fills me with joy that he's happy with where he's happy in life."

Wrestling fans around the world will undoubtedly continue to support The Charismatic Enigma in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back in the ring soon.
