As noted, a deal had been reached last week which would have seen The Hardys acquire the rights to the “Broken Universe” gimmick, however the deal fell through and The Hardys and GFW once again appear to be at an impasse.
Reby Hardy also noted on Twitter that the deal included an anti-disparagement clause which would mandate that Reby pay Anthem/GFW $5,000 anytime she made disparaging remarks about the company on social media.
Dave Meltzer stated on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio the two sides had a deal but Impact Wrestling President Ed Nordholm wouldn’t sign off.
“They made a deal last week. But I’ve got to say this,” Meltzer stated. “They made a deal last week but when that happened I was pretty much told that they’ve come close before and it’s fallen apart and you know the fact is even though it was agreed upon, Ed Nordholm had not signed off on it. And that happened, you know, it’s happened before. So it’s a very tenuous tense situation.
“They’ll kind of mediate the thing, they’ll come to an agreement and then Impact won’t sign off on it,” Meltzer continued. “It seems to happen. You know, I remember when I was told about the deal pretty much, you know, being close to done, they’re was the caveat of ‘Well they may back out again ’cause they always seem to do that.'”
According to Meltzer, the deal was the Hardy Boyz would get the “Broken” gimmick with GFW receiving “some type of financial thing” and both sides would agree to say nothing bad about the other. It was noted that nobody wants the situation to end up in court.
