Matt should definitely be Broken. Jeff should probably be 2009 "time has come and gone for words" Jeff who was the biggest star in the biz. Broken Hardys will be ruined almost immediately I reckon, but it'd still be worth it just for the night after Mania and getting to see him do it (and say it) on WWE TV just once.
The Hardys showed up at Ring of Honor's house show in NYC, beat the Young Bucks for the ROH tag titles and announced they've signed with the Honorable Ring. DELIGHTFUL!

Of note though is all the dates mentioned are pre-Wrestlemania dates. Still a chance of them showing up on RAW the day after.

Meltzer says the Hardys are now taking dates into May and appear to be sticking with ROH past WrestleMania.
and then he walked this back today! He's not sure how long they're signed for now.
I get having them debut unannounced, but having them just show up and win the titles was a move I scratch my head at.
My guess is ROH was just desperate for some attention. ROH is not a promotion that has a lot of buzz (or at least positive buzz) and both the Hardys and Bully Ray showing up as surprises seemed to be stabs at fixing that. The tickets for their WrestleMania show have not moved well so far, this is maybe pushing the idea that you can't miss that show because maybe other equally crazy things will occur.
If the Hardys really don't have more dates after Wrestlemania and are expected to go to WWE then it makes sense for ROH to rush the Hardys and win the titles while they can and the Young Bucks can win them back at the show on Wrestlemania Eve.
Just to update this for the sake of updating this. Yesterday Reby took a flamethrower to Impact in a multi Tweet assault that cubs compiled nicely Click Here (storify.com)
Also the Hardys wrestled last night without doing the Broken gimmick or deleting things, so Impact has made somebody nervous.
It's amazing(?) that it's gotten to this point when you think about their history together, but breakups can be ugly and this surly is.
