Backstage Update On WWE’s Plans For ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy

As noted, this week’s WWE RAW, Matt Hardy teases the “Broken” gimmick as his losing streak continued with a loss to Bray Wyatt.

It appears WWE is moving forward with the gimmick change, which may see Hardy become “Awoken” instead of “Broken” like before.

Regarding the legal matters between Hardy and Anthem Sports & Entertainment over the ownership of the “Broken” intellectual property,

According to source that there have been no new negotiations between Hardy and Anthem’s Ed Nordholm, and there have been no talks of revenue sharing over profits made off merchandise.

SI reached out to Anthem for an update and Nordholm issued the following statement:

“We have seen the character development and will be interested to see where they take the concept. Our new talent agreements all incorporate language that allow talent to continue to use their IMPACT persona after they leave the company. We are working with our legal team to amend our existing agreements to extend this to all of our current and former talent.”
