On Twitter itself, the hashtag for the ‘Ultimate Deletion’ was trending over two hours, as Hardy mentioned himself. It had a mixed-to-positive reaction overall.

As we previously reported, while fans at home were watching the segment, Braun Strowman, Elias and Kane had a segment for the live audience instead. There was also an appearance by Ronda Rousey, who got physical against Titus Worldwide statistician Dana Brooke.
So what if those viewers want to see Hardy take on Wyatt in the Ultimate Deletion at home? Well, if Cageside Seats are correct… they may not be able to.
If you didn’t watch the live version of the show or DVR what happened on the USA Network- you may not get to watch it. WWE has DELETED the main event from the 90-minute edit sent to Hulu.
YouTube segments of the ‘Ultimate Deletion’ were uploaded, though there were some interesting moments removed from the segments and it didn’t have the same atmosphere as the entire cohesive match was.
It should be noted that WWE uploads full episodes of ‘Raw‘ and ‘Smackdown Live‘ to the WWE Network approximately a month after they’ve happened. However, you’ll have to wait till then to watch.
One potentially sour note, though unclear, is that Michael Cole apologized to fans prior to the ‘Ultimate Deletion,’ which some fans took as Vince McMahon or Cole himself not liking the idea.
Hardy responded on Twitter to this:
YEEAAAAAASSSSS, #WOKENWarrior.. I've learned of the BLASPHEMY that the OBSOLETE MULE @MichaelCole SPEWED from his MUZZLE.. @Vanguard1AAR, put this HERETIC on your SURVEILLANCE schedule. If this continues, he must be DELETED! #UltimateDELETION https://t.co/UmgS0viWNv

So with everything mentioned above, how possible does a future ‘Ultimate Deletion’ look?
Well, likely.
YouTube numbers and Nielson ratings were up and alongside the positivity by all the fans on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube in particular) which suggests that the segment was successful.
Sure, McMahon, Cole or other personnel may not have been particularly fond and skeptical of the product, but it did deliver in the end.
Hardy certainly believes that this is only the beginning.
Gracias, mi amigo. This #UltimateDELETION was merely an introduction of My #BROKEN & #WOKEN Universe to the @WWEUniverse.
Merely the GENESIS. https://t.co/AvPdj9tgel

He even offered three suggestions in Cole, McMahon and Roman Reigns.
