Anthem Sports released the following statement to Sports Illustrated regarding WWE
using a "Broken" Matt Hardy style gimmick:
“We have seen the character development and will be interested to see where they take the concept. Our new talent agreements all incorporate language that allow talent to continue to use their IMPACT persona after they leave the company. We are working with our legal team to amend our existing agreements to extend this to all of our current and former talent".
Impact has internally decided they will not pursue ownership of the "Broken Universe", paving the way for Matt Hardy to officially trademark and own the characters.
Pretty much they said that because they had no chance in court and they don't need any more embarrassment than they already have. Like this for instance.

That is really, fucking embarrassing. Major federation allegedly with a cheap ass patch over on a title of a company that really isn't existing anymore? Yeah, embarrassing as all hell.
