Jeff Hardy is opening up about a neck injury he has been battling for months. Earlier this month, Hardy revealed that he has been working with two bulging discs in his neck. The injury occurred at NXT Halloween Havoc in October 2025. Despite the pain, Hardy has continued to perform, recently wrestling Mustafa Ali in a 15-minute match on the January 22 episode of TNA iMPACT.
Speaking in a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Hardy provided details on his recovery and the current state of his neck.
“It’s better. This past Monday and Tuesday, it felt really good. Then we flew out here, and I fell asleep a little funky on the plane. I remember jerking my head up one time, and it hurt. So it was hurting a little more than it did Monday and Tuesday. But overall, it’s feeling good. It’s definitely better. So this has been a little over three months now. I’ve been dealing with two bulging discs on the left side of my neck, and this happened when we dropped the titles at the NXT Halloween Havoc show.”
Hardy went on to describe the specific spot that caused the injury, noting that it looked innocuous to the audience but felt severe in the moment.
“It was one of those things, you couldn’t even tell, it looked completely fine. I landed flat, but I was on the big guy’s shoulders. The one guy jumped off the ladder, clotheslined me off. The idea was for me to go through the table, but I kind of overshot the table, and he just broke the table, and my head just hit the mat, and it was a little whiplash like that. It felt terrible. It definitely felt like a concussion, and I was close to being knocked out, but that’s when it happened. Two bulging discs on the left side of my neck, but I’m feeling much better.”
