10 most misused WWE wrestlers of 2017

#8 The Hardy Boyz

The WWE Universe's favourite tag team heroes were not pushed enough

To be fair, this one isn't entirely WWE's fault. I mean, had TNA just forfeited the rights to the "Broken Universe" gimmick, perhaps they could've avoided a spot on this list.

Sadly, that is not the case.

After rejuvenating their careers on the independent scene as "Broken Matt Hardy" and "Brother Nero", the Hardy Boyz returned to WWE at WrestleMania 33 to a thunderous reaction. In their first match back (which, appropriately, was a ladder match), the brothers won the RAW Tag Team Championships in what can only be described as a feel-good moment.

However, something was a bit off - they had reverted back to their "Team Xtreme" personas.

Of course, I have nothing against Team Xtreme. In fact, they were my favourite tag team as a kid. But this time around, it felt as if the duo was having a bit of an identity crisis. Jeff was fine, but Matt kept teetering between his original WWF persona and his "Broken" character, confusing both casual and "smart" fans. Couple this with a series of forgettable-but-decent matches against The Club and Sheamus & Cesaro, and suddenly the initial excitement for their return had somewhat dissipated.

Yes, they still do get pops, but seeing as they're losing more than they're winning and seeing as Matt still doesn't know who the heck he is, the legendary team feels directionless.
