8 Ways WWE RAW Can Beat NFL Monday Night Football

6. Unleash "BROKEN" Matt Hardy

Corey Graves planted the seeds on Raw, repeatedly mentioning how wacky Matt Hardy was acting. After months of teases, perhaps the older Hardy brother will finally embrace his “BROKEN” character from TNA. Although the legal ramifications of using the gimmick are still unclear, Matt (and to a lesser extent Jeff) desperately needs a new direction away from “one more run.” Whether he’s “BROKEN” or “WOKEN,” Matt’s mentally-deranged, foreign-accented, intergalactic patriarch should be resurrected on WWE TV.

It was the most innovative and entertaining character of the past decade, and yet, the mainstream audience still hasn’t seen it. Raw would become “must-see TV” again if the BROKEN Universe invaded the WWE Universe, spawning new merchandise and never-ending “Delete” chants. Hardy could follow the same formula used on IMPACT to unleash the character, including the return of Brother Nero.

Imagining the feuds with Bray Wyatt, SAnitY and even the Undertaker is simply orgasmic, so let's hope Jerry McDevitt is on the case.
