• Another RAW Star’s In-Ring Career Could Be Over
In what could be a very bad news, there’s a chance that former RAW Tag Team Champion Jason Jordan’s in-ring career could be over.
With Matt Hardy’s in-ring career recently coming to an end due to physical issues, PWInsider’s Mike Johnson noted that there’s a chance Jordan might never be cleared to return to in-ring action ever again.
Below is what Mike said (credit to Ringsidenews for quotes):
“I heard there is no time frame on when Jordan will be returning to the ring, if at all. That’s why they got him backstage working in production. Apparently it’s a lot worse (his neck) than they thought it was going to be.”
Jordan underwent neck surgery earlier this year in February.
