10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2017
2. Matt Hardy
When it comes to burning bridges, even Jeff Hardy could learn a lesson from his brother, Matt. After Jeff left the company and joined TNA in 2010, the increasingly poorly-used Matt was clearly unhappy in WWE. He began posting YouTube videos criticizing WWE's product and expressing his interest in leaving, and before long, he was fired.
Matt showed up alongside Jeff in TNA, and it seemed like a match made in hell. Both brothers were clearly battling addiction, and Matt was fired after being arrested for driving under the influence. Like Jeff, though, Matt got his issues straightened out, then made a return to TNA.
Matt's rise since then has been impressive, but it reached new heights last year when he unveiled the "Broken Matt" character - an erratic cultist of sorts with a wacky family and a strange accent. Broken Matt - and his feud and subsequent partnership with "Brother Nero" - has become the talk of the wrestling town, and with his contract coming up in February as well, it seems like a given that WWE will make a play for him.
