5. The Hardys Can't Be Broken Yet

Thankfully, it seems that The Hardy Boyz (can we still call two fellas with a combined age of 81 that?) are not quite solid enough to avoid being 'Broken' in WWE. We've already seen signs of the popular gimmick seeping through, which is just as well: there's little question that Matt and Jeff can sustain the dad dancing at a daughter's disco that is their mid-life crisis nostalgia act.

The North Carolina siblings aren't so fragile that they should relinquish the tag titles just yet, however. As much as the Raw tag division really is a form of earthbound purgatory slowly whittling away any residual excitement from The Hardyz's surprise return, the time - nor circumstances - are yet right for the tandem to 'break'.

Rest assured, as soon as WWE's legal wranglings with Anthem are concluded in their favour, those belts will be transferred. Until then, they'll keep them to remain 'strong' - at least ostensibly.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
