Confirming some recent rumors, Jeff Hardy announced that he is injured an will be out "for a long time" after he undergoes surgery. As a result, The Hardy Boyz were forced to relinquish their recently won Tag-Team Championships tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
The injury is being blamed on Lars Sullivan attacking the brothers a couple of weeks ago, and The Freak came out to finish the job after Matt insulted him during their his promo. Sullivan took Matt out, but before he could get his hands on Jeff R-Truth hit him with a chair from behind.
Unfortunately, it had little effect, and Lars actually punched the chair away after Truth took another swing.
Sullivan is obviously being built up as an unstoppable monster heel, but the bigger story here is that we're going to need new blue brand Tag-Team Champions. Perhaps they'll be crowned at Money in the Bank?
