I highly doubt it will get challenged. The reason this whole situation came about was because JJ was butt hurt over him ing up the contracts to the Hardy's and the Hardys deciding to leave. JJ is gone and Anthem has moved on.

JJ is gone and Anthem has moved on. I think TNA will challenge. Why else would they have even fought this hard for this long to try and "own" a gimmick that can only be used for two wrestlers that they no longer even have? It's not like they were going to take two other guys and make them Broken Matt and Brother Nero like fake Razor and Diesel...I mean, it's TNA so you can never be sure, but it's highly unlikely. TNA is bleeding money, can' afford to keep any high profile stars, can't even financially operate in the United States anymore....I think pretty much their sole reason to even exist anymore is to keep the Broken gimmick away from WWE.

At this point It doesn’t matter Boy oh boy, talk about a bust. The Hardyz return to WWE has made me really sad. They were white hot after mania and it just fizzled. Jeff getting hurt obviously didn't help them. Broken Matt might be fun to see in WWE, but for the most part . . . yeah who cares lol

Broken Matt was one of the most refreshing & hottest things in recent wrestling history. It's a crying shame that he came to WWE, for Wrestlemania weekend, hot off the back of the Broken gimmick, and it's been left for so long that it's now almost dead in the water. I have literally zero interest for the Hardy Boyz being in the WWE unless Matt is broken, as right now, they are just a watered down nostalgia act who's novelty has worn dry.

Broken Matt and 2007/2009 Jeff would be huge $$
Team Xtreme was cool back in the day but it's a nostalgia act that is ruining both guys.

I hope your last statement is nothing more than just sarcasm. As far as them fighting for the gimmick, it was led by JJ. JJ is gone from TNA. Anthem put their entire faith and the fate of the company in JJ's hands and he led them astray. Its just like JJ selling his GFW to Anthem. Why would Anthem need to buy GFW? It didnt have a tv deal. It didnt have any exclusive deals with talent they wanted. Literally it was just away to put extra money in JJ's pocket.

New Age Outlaws, The Dudleys and now Matt and Jeff Hardy. 3 Legendary teams that returned to a huge welcome but fizzled because they're still doing the same shtick they did in the attitude era. Nostalgia is good short term but long term meh. The sad part is the Hardys have evolved their characters but obviously they cant use the broken gimmick yet, so to me it seemed like a waste to bring them in so early just for them to be a nostalgia act until the case clears up.

Anthem's Ed Nordholm released the following statement on the matter:
“We have seen the character development and will be interested to see where they take the concept. Our new talent agreements all incorporate language that allow talent to continue to use their IMPACT persona after they leave the company. We are working with our legal team to amend our existing agreements to extend this to all of our current and former talent.”
What the hell goes on in their corporate meetings?! One minute they refuse to give up something they take credit for creating, and the next they’re overflowing with generosity to let all talent use what they come up with wherever they want. It’s a wonder they’re still in business.

If only Anthem would have felt this easy from the start.

So what I read in this is that The Dollhouse will be the 3 woman team to attack the NXT women?

It is a smart thing to do, let new guys and even some guys WWE let's go of, go in try new stuff knowing they are able to bring it with them if they ever get a call up to the big show again.

I wouldn't get too excited. The Broken thing only worked in TNA because they let Matt do what he wanted. No way in hell the WWE gives him that much creative freedom.

Really looking forward to seeing where this goes. I'll be so disappointed if it's just more false hope.
