"Due to all of the issues, WWE decided to not use the broken gimmick right away in the company. However, they feel it is wrong that Anthem is doing this to the Hardy brothers. That said, they are now going after TNA from a legal point as well. According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE legal is going after TNA, or now as they call themselves, Impact Wrestling regarding the fact that profited off of a WWE registered trademark.
WWE is working with the Hardy family in order to get things resolved. There is a thought that if Anthem keeps pushing, WWE will counter-sue Anthem in order to get the case thrown out and give the Hardy family full rights to the entire Broken Universe. Some may be asking, what could WWE actually sue over and what was actually a WWE registered trademark?
You notice how WWE is calling Matt and Jeff Hardy the “Hardy Boyz” or “Hardy Boys” again? This was not a random occurrence. Before the brothers left WWE years back, they were simply called the Hardys. This was done because the Hardy brothers did not like being referred to as “boys” when they had grown up and become men. However, the WWE is going back to the “Team Xtreme” gimmick to highlight a major issue that TNA forgot about.
When referring to the brothers in TNA, they too called the Hardys the Hardy Boys or Boyz at first before they changed over to the broken gimmick. For some time, Jeff Hardy was really in TNA on his own. Matt Hardy had been in WWE for years before finally ending up with TNA, but then he was let go for multiple reasons in his first run. He would end up returning, where the two would team up once more. It was about a year later that Broken Matt Hardy came into play.
Obviously, TNA did not violate anything by using the Hardy name, as that name isn’t owned by anyone other than the brothers who gave their permission at the time. TNA would make merchandise using the “Hardy Boys” name and even their logo was featured. WWE did not bother to sue over this, as it wasn’t much really to fight over at the time and it would not solve a lot for them anyway.
However, if WWE Legal could go after Anthem over this and force them into a situation where they will sue them for their use of a WWE trademark, Anthem will have their hands tied. WWE would, in turn, help the Hardy Family win the broken gimmick that they should have owned to start with, and WWE would then be able to win out in the end. This would be a brilliant plan for WWE and the Hardy Family, and clearly, fans of the Hardy brothers hope it ends up working out."
