6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 24)
2. A New Persona On The Way?
The rumor mill started the moment their music hit at WrestleMania: Would the Broken Hardys be coming to WWE, or were we getting a retread of Team Extreme?
Several weeks later, and the answer seems to be muddy. Matt and Jeff Hardy are being billed as the Hardy Boyz and are clearly coming out to their old entrance music and doing a lot of their fan favorite moves. However, Matt also has been drifting in and out of his Broken Matt persona, with his mannerism and shock of white hair being most obvious, and his speech sometimes resembling the faux accent he used in TNA.
Monday night, Hardy made the “delete” gesture multiple times during his match against Sheamus, drawing a “Delete, delete, delete” chant from the crowd. Couple this with reports that WWE is trying to iron out a deal so they can use the Broken Hardys gimmick, and we could see a change coming to Matt and Jeff, which would be great if it happens before the nostalgia wears off.
