Jeff said that the breakdown was simply a kayfabe preview for what's next for his character in TNA along side his brother "Broken" Matt Hardy.

WWE Cruiserweight Classic participant Daivari, Commented on whether he has received a contract from the company to continue working for them, or whether the CWC tourney was a one time deal for him, For which will be the same case for others in the competition.
"As far as I know, it seems like a one-time thing. I don't know what their plans are. A lot of people assume they tell us everything. The cruiserweight division being exclusive to Raw was a surprise to me. I didn't know that, they didn't tell us that. They really just tell you things as they go. I would like to think, or at least hope, that at some point maybe I'll do something else. But, as of right now, as far as my knowledge goes, it's just that one match."
