There’s been a lot of talk over the past couple of months surrounding the health of WWE Superstar and reigning United States Champion Jeff Hardy, with lots of speculation surrounding when his title run will come to an end in order to give him time to recoup.

Two months ago, it was reported that Jeff may have injured his knee during an entrance for a dark match (check that out here), however ‘The Charismatic Enigma’ was able to get back in the ring without missing any time (find that here). It was then claimed last month that Hardy was working through a pinched nerve (for more on that go here), causing him to have numbness that would run into his fingers and as of two weeks ago, it was said he was still dealing with the issue (read that here).

Jeff recently spoke with CantonRep.com to promote WWE’s Live Event tomorrow night at the Canton Civic Center, revealing that he has not been using his signature Swanton Bomb maneuver at events due to a nagging lower back issue:

“Your guess is as good as mine. I think it has to do with hope, faith and a lot of luck. Matt always says, ‘It’s just incredible. You’re one of these guys that do this insane stuff, and here you are 40 years into your life still giving them a little bit of that.’ The toll has been rough at times. Lately, my lower back has really been bothering me to the point where I haven’t been doing the swanton as much in the live events just to protect it. I think looking forward I’m gonna have to be more like that, because nothing lasts forever. I’ve been real lucky, and naturally on TV I always want to go all out, but in the live events, I might have to hold back a little. I’m glad my face paint has come back. That’s always fun for people to see, because it’s original and unique each and every night, and I love doing that. Growing up I was a huge fan of Ultimate Warrior and Sting, and I wanted to be a little bit of both of them.”
