Ever since Matt and Jeff Hardy officially parted ways with Impact Wrestling, the status of their “Broken Universe” gimmick has been the subject of intense and often spiteful debate. Matt intended to use the “Broken” character wherever he wound up, but then Impact slapped Ring of Honor with the threat of legal action, and things sort of went downhill from there.
The rumors and reports have indicated that WWE is planning on using the Broken Universe characters when the current Hardy Boyz nostalgia run comes to an end, and everything we’ve seen on television sort of seems like it has that long-term logic in mind. There were also reports that WWE and Impact were working toward a settlement regarding transferring Impact’s claims to the Broken Universe trademarks over to WWE and resolving any legal issues, but continued animosity between the Hardys and Impact on Twitter would seem to indicate that isn’t the case.

Interesting. But, this would also be a good negotiating tactic on nordholms part even if not true. For example, if they have been talking but impact wants more than is being offered by wwe
1 he says wwe isnt interested 2 iwc tweets and emails by the hundreds/thousands saying they want the broken gimmick 3 vince sees the value of the gimmick and is willing to pay impacts requested fee
Chris Jericho has said that the people at WWE had liked the Broken gimmick and were interested and i don’t see why Y2J would lie. Not only that, but Vince clearly have no problem with the Hardy’s doing the delete motion and other “Broken Matt” gestures.
Plus Nordholm isn’t the nicest guy.
F**k That Owl!
Impact should just let it be. They’re gonna end up giving it away or wwe will do some version of it with different names with a tongue firmly planted in cheek and Impact will lose out that way. And their shows are too weak to withstand any added negativity around them.
