There’s been a lot of speculation recently about Matt Hardy’s on-screen behavior as it relates to when his “Broken” character might show up in WWE. And, as mentioned in a recent Rumor Roundup, there’s also been online chatter that Vince McMahon’s company purchased the rights to the gimmick from Impact Wrestling parent company Anthem Entertainment (an ownership dispute between Matt & Anthem has been keeping the Hardys from using the act on televised shows).
Yesterday (April 27), Matt’s wife Reby joined both conversations via Twitter. As is her way, Queen Rebecca didn’t pull any punches shooting down the rumors...
@RebyHardy Is there any truth to the rumor wwe purchased the broken rights from tna? Notwithstanding that tna had no real ownership #fuckthatowl

NO. Absolutely none. The fact that this is even a rumor is such a joke https://t.co/Lmco2SX7Mg

She also has a theory on how it got started, considering her family doesn’t acknowledge the gimmick is TNA’s to sell:
@VileDelinquet 99% sure it was "leaked" to stooge writers from Jarrett in an attempt to make TNA look like it's in a position of power (LOL)

Owl-men and rumormongers weren’t the only ones Reby had a <140 character message for, however. She also encouraged fans to have a little patience with her family’s character arc on Raw:
