UPDATEx2: AEW President Tony Khan also shared a medical update on Matt Hardy via his own Twitter account. Khan confirmed that Hardy has left the hospital and is now on his way home. Khan also stated that Hardy “doesn’t have a concussion.”

Khan wrote, “An update on Matt Hardy: it’s great news! Matt’s ok, we sent him to the hospital as a precaution & he’s passed the MRI + CT scans, he doesn’t have a concussion, and he’s being driven home now. Matt will be at Dynamite on Wednesday night to thank you amazing fans for your support!” Based on Khan’s comments, Matt Hardy will be appearing at AEW Dynamite later this Wednesday. You can view his tweet below:

It should be noted that the Southern California Orthopedic Institute website states the following on concussions:

“It is important to note that since a concussion does NOT show up on an MRI or CT scan, these tests may come back as normal, but does not indicate that the athlete didn’t suffer a concussion. A clear MRI or CT scan does not mean that the athlete is clear of a concussion injury.”

UPDATE: For an update on Matt Hardy’s condition, F4WOnline.com’s Bryan Alvarez reported on Twitter earlier today that Hardy “was doing a lot better today” following his nasty fall at AEW All Out. F4WOnline.com and The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer later reported that Hardy has been released from the hospital.

ORIGINAL: Reby Hardy gave an update on on Matt Hardy after his scary fall at last night’s AEW All Out, revealing that he’s still in the hospital. Reby posted to Twitter this morning to note that Hardy requires additional imaging after his CT scan was done in regard to his head hitting the concrete during a botched spot in his match with Sammy Guevara, and saying that it is “1000% [a] concussion.”

They needed additional imaging done after his CT. He’s still in the hospital. 1000% concussion. Anyone with eyes could have told you that tho.

Hardy also fired back at a Twitter user who said the spot was Matt’s choice, noting that her tweet last night was critical of Matt:

Reading is fundamental, you absolute asshat.

Matt was the #1 idiot in this scenario.
I’ll let you figure out who #2 was.

Also, f**k you.

Tony Khan said during the post-show media scrum that he allowed the match to continue because Hardy passed a concussion protocol, and that Hardy “seems to be okay” after being taken to the hospital as a precaution.
