5 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 19)

3. Please Blow This Feud Off

When Matt Hardy became “woken” and reverted to his “Broken” character, fans understandably were excited. The Broken Universe was a unique storyline and character arc that might reinvigorate Hardy’s career. And pairing him with Bray Wyatt only seemed natural for a first feud.

But after a promising start, the feud has reached the point where fans have to be clamoring for the rivalry itself to be deleted from existence. The feud was on display again Monday night, with Bray and Matt exchanging dueling pre-shot promos where they said nothing while accusing the other of lying and saying nothing.

Nevermind that Wyatt defeated Hardy in less than seven minutes in a lackluster match at Raw 25. But hey, we’re getting a PPV match, so maybe they’ll surprise us and step it up or have something big in store.
