In the past month, Matt Hardy has been teasing retirement from in-ring competition. Hardy recently revealed his lower back and pelvis have started fusing together due to all the leg drops he’s done in his time in the ring. Hardy will be starting a new training rehab method that will hopefully help with the pain. There has been talk of him shadowing WWE producers to "learn the ropes" with the idea of him working a producer job in the future.
The former RAW Tag Team champion is scheduled to undergo treatments for his various injuries and once he’s healed up, Hardy will decide if a return to the ring is possible, what capacity he might return in and if he will have to work a limited schedule.
Matt's wife, Reby Hardy, made an appearance over the weekend on Busted Open and noted that not only her husband was indeed in a transitional period, but his WWE contract was up in March.
"Matt is good. Matt is right now going through a bit of a transitional period," Hardy said. "He's not really sure what he's going to be doing. His contract is up in March, which I'm not sure many people are aware of. But there's sort of a decision to be made at this point as to whether or not he should continue his in-ring career or if he should pursue something different, which he would totally be up for and would be excited to do, I feel like.
"So, he's kind of giving it a go right now backstage. He's at SummerSlam. He's not on the card but he's there. And we're kind of going to see from here. It's really a transitional time right now."
