The Broken character became so famous that the fans kept on asking for the character Since his return to WWE in 2017. WWE was determined to make him work under his previous and actual gimmick.
But the pressure from the fans were so high WWE did not have any other option but to introduce the gimmick to the WWE fans. But the character was called Woken. The fans were so much attached to him still WWE decided not to push him since the idea of the character was not originally from the promotion itself.

Matt Hardy who is a former eleven times Tag Team Champion in WWE recently spoke to The Drive with Josh Graham where he revealed that the Hardy Boys wanted to retire as a tag team. He said;
“That would be fabulous. I know both of us have stated on quite a few occasions that we both want to end our careers the way we began our careers. And that is as a tag team. That was our dream, as two kids growing up, we wanted to be the tag team champions of the world, at least one time.
Obviously we have very fortunately exceeded that many times over. But I think us teaming together and having one last run as a tag team would be amazing. And I couldn’t think of a better place to do it than All Elite Wrestling.
“One thing I have to say about Tony Khan, I can’t put him over enough for this, he is so good and so great at treating legends like legends. And he has such a smart utilization of talent. I cannot commend him enough on it. That’s why AEW has been so successful, because Tony Khan has been the guy in the driver’s seat.
“He has really been putting out a smart product, where he rewards all the wrestling fans in 2021 that are willing to invest a lot of time to watch a product and watch a storyline, watch a rivalry. He always gives them a payoff that’s going to reward them.”
