The much anticipated moment of seeing Broken or Woken Matt Hardy on WWE Raw finally came to fruition on last night’s edition. The indication was there to see him on this week’s show since it was noted that he has reached to his breaking point, all of a sudden after digesting a series of losses under his name over the past couple of months. To overcome the odds, last night, he decided to appear in the Woken avatar.
In case you don’t know, the original transitioned character of Matt Hardy was known as the Broken one that appeared on the TV tapings of Impact Wrestling promotion, last year. Both the Hardyz began to transform into bizarre personas by this new gimmick that the pro-wrestling universe loved to see.
But, they could not witness it on WWE programming since Impact demanded rights over the gimmick causing in a legal war. Matt Hardy himself claimed the patent of it, whereas, his previous employers demanded the rights over it. In recent times, the latter party is said to be moved from their claiming which have finally allowed WWE to come up with the much-needed gimmick change for the veteran Hardyz.
I find an intriguing DUALITY within Finn Balor’s VESSEL. His SOUL is quite COMPLEX. There is LIGHT harbored internally.. But if his DEMON is of the DARKNESS, then.. pic.twitter.com/SE8ltfRcxR

It started with a bang since he is paired opposite none other than Bray Wyatt who is another weird persona present in the WWE with a horrifying gimmick. So, this was dream feud for the fans of the WWE which will soon get culminated in a match shortly.

As for last night, both the characters appeared on the big tron placed above the ramp to cut promos on each other to build up the rivalry. The fans watching the show enjoyed the segment with the weird Hardy finally appearing in the re-worked Woken avatar. It was the first time that Matt Hardy was wearing his former attire in the WWE. He would go on to deliver strange mannerisms and pronunciations of words to make the audience feel ‘delightful’.
