While the absence of both Matt and Jeff Hardy from the episode of RAW this past Monday alarmed some fans, apparently, there’s a very mundane and logical reason for their absence. It is believed that this is part of The Hardys beginning to work a more reduced schedule over the next few weeks due to the fact that Matt’s wife, Rebecca, is on the verge of giving birth to the couple’s second child.

On the ever evolving subject of The Hardys’ “Broken” gimmick dispute with former employers, Impact Wrestling, it’s being suggested that the relative silence of late does not mean the situation has cooled off. It is indicated that some sort of agreement is still being sought in the background between the parties involved. It is also believed that Smashing Pumpkins frontman, Billy Corgan – who recently purchased the NWA – was at one point involved in trying to come to a solution, though his level of involvement at this stage is unknown.

In other news concerning The Hardys, they look set to feature in an upcoming episode of Bring It To The Table on the WWE Network. They recently attended a sit-down interview with Corey Graves before Extreme Rules in Baltimore as part of filming. The episode will be available immediately following next week’s RAW.

More Southpaw Regional Wrestling From WWE?

In a recent interview with Playback, John Cena spoke about the wildly popular Southpaw Regional Wrestling and hinted that we will probably get more of the series in the future.

“It’s amazing because it captures everything of that era, but we never show any wrestling. And it’s so great and it just goes to show how far sports entertainment has come.

“Here we are 30 years removed from it, or more, and we are able to laugh at the way things were done, especially the small-time promotions trying to keep up with ‘New York’, when Vince [McMahon] was doing crazy global stuff, and everyone else was falling by the wayside. It’s just their crazy last ditch attempts to try to keep up with the frontrunner. And it was really fun and there’s more on the way, so I’m very much looking forward to it.

“Bro, I have seen Tex Ferguson unleashed. Be on the lookout for more Tex Ferguson. He is a superstar. He is just a superstar.”

All I can say is, “Bring it back NOW!!!”

Broken Matt vs Bray Wyatt?

If and when the legal issues between Matt Hardy and Anthem over the whole “Broken” gimmick get settled, Matt says he wants to unleash the Broken Universe on one specific WWE Superstar: Bray Wyatt.

Just for starters, if we get to where we need to be, I think ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy against Bray Wyatt would be an amazing deal, and you look at him [Jeff] – him vs Seth Rollins, him vs Finn Balor, either one of us vs Roman Reigns – there’s a lot of cool, interesting combinations of guys who became stars in the last five or six years that we’ve never worked against, it’s totally like a fresh slate. So there’s a lot of potential forces as singles competitors also.

I am pretty sure this is a feud that all of us would be very happy with.
