10 WWE Plans in 2017 which couldn't go through

8: The Hardy's push as a top tag team on RAW

Though they're not 'Broken' as of yet, the Hardyz are still incredibly popular

At WrestleMania 33, Matt and Jeff Hardy made their shocking return to WWE after many years of wrestling in other promotions. In their return match, they won the RAW Tag Team Titles, much to the delight of the crowd in attendance. This sudden return and victory sent an obvious message to the audience: the Hardyz were going to be fixtures of the RAW tag team scene.

This didn’t fully come to pass for a number of reasons. First, some of the teams they were supposed to feud with suffered from their own problems (Enzo & Cass, The Revival, etc.).

Second, they’re still dealing with the ramifications of a lawsuit against TNA/Impact Wrestling over the rights to the ‘Broken Hardy’ gimmick and intellectual property, which prevented them from taking that wildly successful gimmick and using it in WWE.

Thirdly, Jeff Hardy suffered an injury that put him on the shelf for up to six months, which prevented the duo from performing as a unified tag team act. As a result, Matt Hardy has been wrestling in lower card matches for the most part, waiting patiently for his lawsuit to end and for Jeff to return from his injury.
