Jeff Hardy took a worrying bump during last night’s Symphony of Destruction match against Elias on WWE Raw, having flown all the way from the top turnbuckle to the outside with a Swanton Bomb, putting Elias through a table to take the victory.

The landing was rough. Only Jeff’s legs made contact with Elias in the table, while his back whipped down to the floor and his skull appeared to almost bash against the edge of the steps. He was seen in conversation with the official after this and quickly checked his head for blood, with WWE replaying the footage several times over.

Fortunately, it sounds like Hardy is doing okay coming out of this spot. A new Fightful Select report states that despite fans’ concerns in the Symphony of Destruction’s aftermath, there is no indication that Jeff suffered any serious damage from the finish.

A chaotic bout saw Elias kayfabe electrocuted by a speaker and interferences from Erik, Akira Tozawa, R-Truth, Drew Gulak, and Gran Metalik, who fought for the 24/7 Championship while Elias and Hardy battled.

Elias and Hardy had been feuding for several weeks leading up to last night, though the Symphony of Destruction match felt like a feud-ender.
