There is no confirmation as to when the injury occurred, but Hardy was shown clutching his shoulder in pain during the main event of RAW on Monday.

Sources told Pro Wrestling Sheet that it's "unclear if" Hardy will need surgery, but it is "definitely an option."

Hardy returned to WWE alongside his brother at WrestleMania 33 in April. The duo spent several years competing in Impact Wrestling, as well as appearing in several other promotions including Ring of Honor.

Hardy is a multi-time World champion — one-time WWE Champion — and tag-team champion during his tenures with WWE.
