According to the report from Figthful Select, it appears that Matt Hardy needed 13 stitches to his head as the chair caught him there, but was fine after receiving treatment.
Matt Hardy's new gimmick in AEW
Before Sammy Guevara's attack, Matt Hardy introduced his new gimmick as well. This was something that the AEW wrestler had talked about before, introducing himself as Matthew Hardy.
"I decided, maybe it's time to do my part and try and heal some of this division, do what I can to put it back together, try and be a voice of reason. I've had a lot of experiences. Maybe now, it's time for me, on AEW programming, to just be real. Be someone that I have never been on television before and that's me. Maybe it's time for me to be Matthew Hardy. Maybe it's time for me to just be me."
