... in crap nostalgia act form!
Yeah, not like the Woken incarnation was great, but I have no clue why they'd go back to this when the previous time they were doing it it got old... pretty much within about two days.
Kind of hilarious Bray Wyatt's been on the shelf for months entirely because his tag partner retired and said tag partner returned before he did.

I’ll give him credit. He looked better both in-ring and physically than he had at any point during this return.
But “Pelvis fusing into spine” really doesn’t seem like something you should come back from...

He was still doing the Delete arm motions, so I am sure that's probably not gone for good.
I feel a bit bad for Owens, in that I think he's lost some weight, but Matt's weight loss makes it much less remarkable. Matt hasn't looked this good since pre-Keyblade tights.

So he's just over being Woken?
I hate that WWE doesn't think it's necessary to explain f***ing anything.

I mean Bray is still missing and they can always... who am I kidding, they won't try. Anyway, WWE picked up the option for a third year for them. So there is at least one more year for them in WWE. |

I mean Bray is still missing and they can always... who am I kidding, they won't try. I would even take this: Jeff: Hey man, what happened to you? You were totally nuts last year. Matt: Oh that? Don't worry, I got better. Like, at least acknowledge that it happened! |

Depends I guess on if they want to keep Bray from walking. Like, normally, I may agree with you, but I could see this being "hey look Matt's in shape!" return spot, but I don't think Matt would creatively be interested in dropping it entirely. He's one of the few guys who pushes for that kind of thing who actually has the leverage for it, like when he made WWE let him keep his personal site when he returned from the Edge/Lita stuff. |

It's WWE in a nutshell. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into letting one of their own performers do the act that got him popular enough to re-sign in the first place, and then dropped it as soon as possible, because it didn't come from their echo chamber and entertaining the paying audience is secondary to entertaining Vince McMahon.

They do kind of explain it in this Youtube-only interview, because WWE.
Kind of reads to me like they're angling to do something like Bray coming back to try to re-break Matt, based on how he's saying he's over the Woken thing yet is slipping back into it. Which sounds... not entirely awful but not particularly good.

I think it’s funny that the WWE spent all that time and money to get the rights to use the Broken character only for him to “retire” a few months later.
Speaking of retirement; Matt Hardy will never retire

Give me USOs/ Hardy’s while Matt’s still in this shape. Jeff’s been looking better for awhile now too, so they may have one good run left in them yet.
Then feud them for the 9000th time, except make Jeff the heel. All I want is one “Antichrist of Professional Wrestling” run in the WWE.

They just don’t get it. Broken Hardy’s were what caused the buzz for them to get re-signed in the first place. Nobody wants this “nostalgia” rubbish. They want these guys...  It’s the same with the Dudley Boyz return. They had Bully Ray RIGHT THERE and they wasted it on a nostalgia trip. |

I tried to think of a constructive reply to this news, something other than posting the word "lame" with seventeen As, but I'm afraid it's the best I can do.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Well to be fair the woken/broken Matt character is one he can sort of flick in and out of fairly easily if he wanted too. Given that it’s one of those split personality gimmicks.

They were only teaming for a few months before Jeff got hurt in 2017, so we missed out on them vs Usos and New Day, among others. Granted, Woken/Broken was hot for awhile, but I think after the Bray Wyatt stuff it cooled a bit. The Network special they did for Halloween was fun. |

Other than their actual return at WM, I hated their last run together. They managed to have several shitty matches with The Bar.
This time around Matt looks great, though. I'm ok with them showing up and putting some teams over.

Hardys vs Usos seems like a given, and Matt on Smackdown seems like a way better fit for him anyway, I'm ok with this, especially considering how much Matt WORKED to get back here.

I just want them as The Broken Hardy’s. That’s character progression. It’s way more fun to watch than having them as just “two guys” |
