Fightful recently released details recounting the events leading up to the arrest, which revealed that Hardy had scheduled a doctor’s appointment. An allegedly inebriated Jeff had stated to officers that he has a checkup scheduled for brain scans.
The scheduled doctor’s appointment might be an indication that Hardy has been struggling with his health for a while.
It seems that the appointment may have been set as a result of back-to-back high-profile matches with the likes of The Young Bucks and Darby Allin. The worrying details around Hardy’s health have not yet been fully disclosed, but it’s been reported that he was hurt in action some time ago.
The recently released details also clarified that Jeff had carried a physical license used for car rental services rather than not carrying one at all. There isn’t any word on it causing him trouble for his ability to rent cars outside of North Carolina.
