Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara competed in a ‘Broken Rules’ match at All Out. Their match kicked off beside the Jacksonville Jaguars football field and early in the match, Hardy and Guevara were setting up for the both of them to fall through a table. Hardy and Guevara cleared the tables and Hardy’s head collided with the concrete. Shortly after checking on Hardy, Aubrey Edwards threw up the “X” and signaled Dr. Sampson to come check on Hardy. Before Dr. Sampson checked on Hardy, the match was called off.
After gathering himself following multiple attempts to get on his feet, Hardy and Guevara finished the match with Hardy picking up the win by tossing Guevara off a scaffold. The stipulation was that if Hardy lost, he’d have to leave AEW.
So Matt Hardy hit took a major bump and hit his head on the cement! I hope he’s ok this was crazy! #aew #AEWAllOut pic.twitter.com/sMJMabYYf6

During the post-All Out media scrum, Tony Khan stated that he was the one who made the call for the match to initially end. Dr. Sampson checked on Matt and then cleared him to finish the match. Hardy was taken to a hospital as a precaution and added that everyone is glad that Matt seems to be fine.
Reby Hardy, wife of Matt, took to Twitter and voiced her displeasure with how the situation was handled:
Let me be absolutely fucking clear.
There is NOTHING entertaining about a concussion. Shame on everyone in that goddamn building. pic.twitter.com/ujdOU9Z60I— Reby Hardy (@RebyHardy) September 6, 2020
