5 shocking twists that could happen on RAW after No Mercy 2017

#2- Matt Hardy 'awakens'

Could the 'woken' persona finally see the light of day?

In the absence of the 'Broken' Hardy gimmick, Matt Hardy has often been teasing a 'woken' gimmick, with several videos on social media. With the injury to Jeff Hardy, that'll keep him on the shelf for a while, Matt Hardy may need this persona to get over in the year 2017, as he's no longer the acrobat he once was.

The Hardyz are the top babyfaces on RAW currently. Keeping Matt Hardy off television in the absence of Jeff, does not make sense considering the kind of reaction he gets.

Matt Hardy can have some amazing programs on RAW. There's Elias Samson, Bray Wyatt, and Apollo Crews among a host of others that he could feud with. A 'woken' persona would certainly change the pace of the show entirely.
