It was during last year’s May when Matt Hardy added the ‘Broken’ gimmick with his name to be known as Broken Matt Hardy. Back then, he was a mainstay guy in the TNA Impact Wrestling. The elder hardy was the innovator with the gimmick which turned out to be super successful.
Now, one year passed by since then, as TNA is now known only as the Impact Wrestling. Anthem Sports owner, Ed Nordholm bought the promotion bringing back Jeff Jarrett in the control. This led to a conflict between them and the Hardy Boyz.
The main event performers had been removed from their creative control on the promotion. They were neither contacted for renewing their contract leading to their return to the WWE. But, the promotion did not allow them to bring along the most coveted possession, The ‘Broken’ creation.
Twitteroids…keep in mind that we’re listening to your comments. You are the ultimate judges of what we do. @IMPACTWRESTLING @EdNordholm

@DirtyDMantell @IMPACTWRESTLING @EdNordholm For the love of God, please come to agreement with Matt and Reby. Fans want it. You stand to benefit from the overflow exposure. Do it.

A lawsuit is ongoing with the Hardy Boyz and the Impact Wrestling promotion over who can gain control over this one. Recently, many wrestling fans declared their frustrations for not being able to see ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy in the WWE.
Impact Wrestling retweeted one of the posts from the fans to let their viewers know over the matter. Former WWE manager Zeb Colter has to say something about it. He is currently under Impact Wrestling’s payroll in the name of Dutch Mantell. So, quite obviously he stood by the side of his new employer which led Matt Hardy into the conversation.
@MmmchelleMyBell @TrampCorpse @OmegaMetalqueen @DirtyDMantell @IMPACTWRESTLING @EdNordholm If Matt knew he had a case he’d be trying to get this in front of a judge ASAP. If Anthem was avoiding court, Reby would let us know.

Colter commented that the Impact Wrestling is listening to their fans after one of the fans pointed out the legal battle ongoing. Following it, The Nefarious One stated that he is acting perfectly as Jeff Jarrett’s puppet.
Incorrect, Jeff Jarrett puppet. I know you’re a minion following his childish orders to “bash” The Hardys..Is that what u want, @EdNordholm? https://t.co/eNIyJKXMGr

Reby Hardy, wife of Matt Hardy also came forward to the conversation posting some of the tweets towards Colter. Replying her back he stated that he loves the Hardy Boyz. It was also indicated in the conversation that the matter would become worse if they have to appear in the court to resolve the issues.
For now, WWE is trying to come to an agreement with the Impact Wrestling owners over the matter. However, it’s hard to state that any solution would occur, soon.
