It appears that the WWE Universe will have to wait a bit longer to see the Broken gimmick in WWE.

Matt Hardy did some wonderful things during his time with TNA Wrestling (now known as Global Force Wrestling). He had some highlights and some downfalls during his run with the promotion over the last seven years. He joined the company after having a lengthy stint with WWE.

Towards the end of this run with the promotion, he decided to make a big change to his character. This would be a make or break decision for his career. Luckily for him, it paid off big and turned TNA around for a bit. The character brought attention to TNA that it had not seen in years.

During a feud with his younger brother Jeff, they did an angle in which Matt slowly but surely became broken. The former Raw Tag Team Champion started working, talking, and acting differently not only on television but on social media and in interviews. It was truly something different from what the fans came to know him as. It paid off, to say the least.

However, his run came to an end with TNA after having some contract disputes. The Hardy Boyz would leave the promotion and work indie shows as well have a brief run in Ring of Honor. There was much debate whether The Hardys would return to WWE, which that brought them to superstardom as their original gimmick or the new Broken universe. When they returned at WrestleMania 33 in April in Orlando, Florida, they were not broken but rather had their old gimmicks.

This was somewhat of a disappointment to the fans as they are waiting to see the Broken gimmick on a larger platform.

Head of creative for GFW, Jeff Jarrett recently took part in a media conference call. As seen on this week’s episode of Raw, The Hardy Boyz dropped more Broken references than usual during their segment on the show. When asked about if the Hardys have acquired the gimmick, Jarrett stated, "No they haven't.”

If you recall, The Hardys have been in a legal battle with Anthem, which is owned GFW, since leaving the company over the Broken gimmick.
