"Personally I am very glad that Jeremy Borash is here in WWE…He's got a great mind; a very creative person, a good friend of mine and he just deserves to work here. Coming to the WWE often validates your career in the business and he was kind of the glue that was keeping TNA together in many, many ways over the years. The fact that he's here and actually hired by Triple H, and his role is to be an important part of NXT, I am very happy he's got the opportunity”

Furthermore, Hardy reiterated that an opportunity to work in the WWE is something that Borash is most definitely deserving of.

Author’s take

Honestly speaking, Matt Hardy and Jeremy Borash ought to be applauded for their work with the Broken gimmick in Impact Wrestling.

The duo succeeded in creating a unique, larger-than-life storyline in a smaller promotion, and now have been accorded the opportunity to present the Woken/Broken Universe in the world’s premier sports-entertainment promotion.

Intriguingly, Borash was indeed involved in the filming of the Ultimate Deletion Match this past Thursday. Now, isn’t that wonderful?
