Matt Hardy has filed a trademark application to claim ownership of the “Broken Matt Hardy” character, according to a filing at the US Patent & Trademark Office. The application was filed on March 1st, 2017 and is for “Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.”
As previously reported, a dispute is brewing between Matt and Impact Wrestling, with both sides claiming ownership of the Broken character. Even though Matt created his Broken Universe, the new owners of Impact Wrestling feel they’re entitled to the intellectual property of the character based on the nature of their contract and the fact that Broken Matt Hardy first appeared on their show.

Speaking of Matt Hardy, he once again tweeted at RAW Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on Monday night. This time, he informed Gallows and Anderson during RAW that he will eat them and delete them.
