Matt Hardy has been teasing the broken gimmick on WWE television over the past couple of weeks, which has led many to believe that the act will be brought to the company at some point in the near future.
According to Cageside Seats, WWE is close to a deal with Anthem Sports, who are the owners of TNA/Impact Wresting and the broken gimmick. Furthermore, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently appeared on the Live Audio Wrestling podcast and said the following regarding the talks between WWE and Anthem.
“I think there’s something up,” said Meltzer regarding the Broken gimmick in WWE. “I know that there were rumors that there was a deal done, and Reby — Matt’s wife — said that’s not the case. I know that [WWE and Anthem] were in talks, and I just feel like they’re gonna get there at some point because Matt’s obviously sneaking it in. So, I think that it’s something where if the deal isn’t done, they’re confident enough that the deal will be done because if they weren’t confident Vince wouldn’t let this happen.”
Do you think we’ll see the broken gimmick in WWE anytime soon? Or will WWE and Anthem be unable to come to an agreement? Let us know in the comments below, or over on Facebook!
