After losing clean at Great Balls Of Fire, the nostalgia kick of seeing Matt and Jeff Hardy return to WWE is now complete. The brothers have been Raw Tag-Team Champions (winning them on the grand stage of 'Mania, no less) and worked a lengthy feud with Sheamus and Cesaro. Could a split be next?

Rumours persist that WWE wish to own Matt's 'Broken' gimmick and use it on TV. If that happens, then keeping Jeff as a more straightforward singles star and feuding the siblings could be an idea. Yes, The Hardyz did do this in TNA, but more casual fans who only tune into Raw, SmackDown and WWE pay-per-views won't know much about that.

Matt did sneak some 'Broken' magic into his pre-match promo on Sunday, and some in the live crowd picked up on this. Casual fans would enjoy it and more hardcore wrestling viewers want to see him return to the bizarre character he played on Impact Wrestling that earned rave reviews.

There's nothing left for them to achieve as a team in the short-term anyway.
