10 Recently Revealed WWE Ideas That Were Pitched And Went Nowhere

WWE failed to maximize 'Woken' Matt Hardy. In the final months of his last WWE run, Matt made few appearances, with the ones he did having him lose his final four matches, cumulating in two vicious attacks from Randy Orton.

Appearing on Talk Is Jericho after he signed with AEW, Hardy revealed an interesting concept he had for WWE that they never cared for. He wanted to produce an outlandish running segment called ‘The Broken Block’, where he would feature Superstars that were not getting much television time:

"What I pitched was give me 10 to 15 minutes of the show, and I want to call it 'The Broken Block'. My idea was give me underutilized guys like Chad Gable and Ali and Apollo, guys that aren't being utilized at all. Let me put them on that show. Let me put some vignettes from the Hardy compound and House Hardy and just give me like 10 to 15 minutes, and I'll call it 'The Broken Block' every show and just see how it does. These guys have matches in the arena. I'm almost like the commissioner or like I'm heading up this broken block, and we try to give Ali and Chad Gable a best-of-seven. Cut them loose. Let them have great matches. They'll become stars on their own just because of the quality of their matches, and then will interject a little Vanguard 1 and we'll have some of the you know House Hardy on it. 'The Broken Block'. 10 to 15 minutes that's all I was asking for. Never heard anything about it."

When discussing his time in WWE, Hardy gave a prime example on how his creative ideas weren't taken advantage of, whether it was on his own or for his tag team partner/creative soulmate Bray Wyatt for their Deleters Of Worlds combo. Reflecting, Hardy believes that the offbeat ideas he and Wyatt regularly pitched played a big part in why they were written off RAW back in 2018:

"In all honesty, I think the reason why Bray and I were pulled off of TV at that time, was because they were tired of us suggesting ideas about how we should use the Hardy Compound, and we shouldn't be wrestling all the time. I think that the whole scenario between myself and Bray could have been so much more if we could have gotten people to listen to our ideas.”

Who else would rather watch The Broken Block over A Moment of Bliss any day?
