Jeff Hardy Arrested At Myrtle Beach, WWE Releases Statement

WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for being intoxicated in public this weekend, according to TMZ.

Hardy was arrested and booked early Saturday morning for public intoxication and impairment. There’s no word yet on what led to the arrest, but Myrtle Beach is a notorious arrest trap for people visiting from out of town and partying too much.

Hardy was released earlier today on a bond that was less than $200.

Jeff is currently out of action for WWE, recovering from knee surgery that he underwent in May. It was reported that he would be out of action for 6-9 months.

WWE has released the statement below about Jeff Hardy’s arrest.

“Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions.”

 

In an update, the police report notes that Hardy was found passed out in a public stairwell and reeked of alcohol before he was arrested, according to TMZ.

Hardy admitted to police that he had been drinking vodka before he was found by police in the stairwell.

It was originally reported that Hardy was facing the misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. Hardy ended up paying a $153 ticket for that charge, and the case is now closed. He is not facing a conviction on his record.

Below is the full announcement on the series:

“My Wish” Returns to SportsCenter July 13 with NFL, MLB, NHL, WWE StarsSaquon Barkley, Nolan Arenado, Dude Perfect and more Grant Sports-Themed Wishes to Make-A-Wish® Children

The award-winning ESPN “My Wish” Series returns for its 14th season on Saturday, July 13, and this year will feature stars from the NFL, NHL, Major League Baseball and the WWE as well as popular sports trick shot artists Dude Perfect. Since its beginning in 2006, the series has partnered with Make-A-Wish® to fulfill 68 sports-themed wishes for children with critical illnesses.

In addition to Dude Perfect, this year’s series of wishes will feature New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, the 2018 NFL Rookie of the Year; five-time National League all-star Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies; and three-time Stanley Cup champion goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury of the Vegas Golden Knights. Also granting a wish is Stephanie McMahon, WWE chief brand officer and a former Women’s Champion.

Working together with Make-A-Wish, ESPN produces feature segments on the wishes for airing on SportsCenter, with new features debuting on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, July 13-14, and then each day of the week through Thursday, July 18. All features will re-air multiple times in various editions of SportsCenter and will be available on ESPN.com.

Chris Connelly has been host of the ESPN “My Wish” Series since its beginning. The series is presented by Dove Men+Care.

The 2019 ESPN “My Wish” on SportsCenter segments include:

* Saturday and Sunday, July 13-14 – Saquon Barkley: As 14-year-old George Taylor, a high school football player from Cohoes, N.Y., battles Ewing’s sarcoma, he hopes to emulate the attitude, drive and determination of his favorite NFL star, Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, who makes George feel like he’s back in the game. The piece also is the weekend’s SC Featured

* Monday, July 15 – Dude Perfect: Nolan Harm, a 11-year-old from Brick Township, N.J., living with cystic fibrosis, has a passion for making the seemingly impossible happen. So who better to spend the day with than viral sensations and trick shot artists Dude Perfect?

* Tuesday, July 16 – WWE/Stephanie McMahon: Rhianna Sammut is a 17-year-old from the UK whose systemic mastocytosis has caused her severe pain, bullying and near-total isolation.

* Wednesday, July 17 – Vegas Golden Knights/Marc-Andre Fleury: Doron Coldwell, a 13-year-old from Las Vegas who’s faced Hodgkin’s lymphoma, joins the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights to light up the strip and replace his favorite player, Marc-Andre Fleury, in net for a day.

* Thursday, July 18 – Nolan Arenado: Sam Grayston, a 17-year-old from Laguna Hills, Calif., was born with cystic fibrosis. A hellish infancy and ongoing challenges haven’t kept him from becoming a rising star on his high school baseball team, or spending the day taking batting practice at Coors Field with his MLB hero: Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies.

In addition, a one-hour My Wish special will air Sunday, Aug. 11, at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on ABC and will include all of the 2019 “My Wish” Series wishes. Special versions of the wish videos will be shared on ESPN social media platforms.

WWE SummerSlam Plans Reportedly Subject To Change Due To Paul Heyman And Eric Bischoff

WWE officials may be changing some of the top SummerSlam plans due to the hiring of new RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman and SmackDown Executive Director Eric Bischoff.

It was noted by @Wrestlevotes that anything WWE had planned in advance for SummerSlam was all subject to change once Bischoff and Heyman fully start their roles next week after Extreme Rules. This would allow Bischoff and Heyman to come in with a clean slate going into one of the biggest shows of the year.

There’s no word yet on what WWE has had planned for SummerSlam but one rumored match was The Undertaker vs. Drew McIntyre.

The 2019 SummerSlam pay-per-view takes place on August 11 from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

WWE has canceled a couple of more dates on their European tour this fall. World Wrestling in Italy reports that the company canceled the November 3rd and 4th shows in Florence and Milan.

The cancellations were done due to what WWE described as “scheduling conflicts in the WWE tour.” This comes after WWE cancelled several shows that week in the UK.

The cancellation is believed to be due to WWE planning to hold their next Saudi Arabia show on November 1st, with a live Smackdown set for two hours later. The Italy cancellation notes that tickets can be reimbursed at the point of sale and that the company hopes to announce new dates in Italy soon.

Alexa Bliss Dealing With Bad Sinus Infection Going Into WWE Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss has missed recent WWE TV events due to an illness. She is still scheduled to team with Nikki Cross for the 2-on-1 Handicap Match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley at Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Bliss is currently suffering from a “really bad” sinus infection, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Bliss’ sinus infection is the reason Cross was added to the match. Meltzer noted that originally they were not going to have Cross in the match, but plans changed due to Bliss’ illness.

Bliss has not commented on being out of action, but she did make this tweet with the “face with thermometer” emoji earlier this week:

WWE Partners With Quibi For New Series Featuring Stephanie McMahon And Female Superstars

Jeffrey Katzenberg’s new Quibi app has partnered with WWE for a series featuring female Superstars helping young women struggling with personal issues.

The premise of “Fight Like a Girl” is as follows:

“In each episode of FIGHT LIKE A GIRL, Stephanie McMahon pairs a WWE Superstar with a young woman struggling with a personal issue that has been holding her back. The WWE Superstars draw from their own life experiences, to help their trainees overcome obstacles and become tougher, stronger and healthier versions of their former selves inside and out.

The series was filmed at the WWE Performance Center and Stephanie is credited as an Executive Producer amongst others at WWE Studios.

Quibi is a yet to debut mobile app which plans to release shorter content — stuff that could be watched during small periods of free time — aimed at targeting a younger demographic. The platform will also include scripted projects from actors like Guillermo del Toro, Don Cheadle and Liam Hemsworth.

No word at this time on when the show will premiere.
