--   There are increasing rumors floating around that at next month's Royal Rumble PPV, Jeff Hardy will be facing off against Edge.    As we reported earlier, the WWE.com story featuring Hardy being found unconscious in a stairwell at a Boston hotel is just a storyline.   It seems that if WWE is going through with a Edge vs. Hardy feud, Edge will end up being the culprit as Edge did fly from Tampa last night to Boston (where Survivor Series is being held).

Hardy is expected to work the match tonight against Triple H & Vladamir Kozlov and sell the injuries he sustained.

According to PWInsider.com, no one that has been contacted knows anything about Jeff Hardy being taken to a hospital after being found unconscious.   It seems at this point it is a storyline to hype tonight's Survivor Series PPV.   This is NOT 100% confirmed at this time, but it appears at this time that it is nothing for those who are concerned.
