Matt Hardy recently claimed on Twitter that Vince McMahon insisted that the Hardy Boyz return to WWE in 2017. According to Matt, it was because of the howling success of the ‘Broken Hardy’ gimmick on TNA.
The Hardys became two of the most over wrestlers in the business at the time, and they still are. Matt also revealed that even though Vince McMahon wanted and brought them back to WWE, he simply didn’t understand the gimmick very well.
The massive viral buzz behind #BROKEN Matt is 100% why Vince insisted we return. WWE knew it was my brainchild. Jeff’s 1 of the most popular ever, but I’m good on my own.
VKM wanted us at WWE, cuz we were insanely over.. Even though he didn’t understand why, same as Bullet Club. https://t.co/sIWpOaqPjK
