Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt in an Ultimate Deletion match in the main event of WWE RAW in March 2018. The match was widely considered a success, especially amongst fans on social media, but it seems Vince McMahon did not feel the same way.

Speaking on Talk Is Jericho in 2020, Hardy revealed that Vince McMahon admitted to members of WWE’s production team that he “didn’t get it” and he questioned how many viewers would stay tuned in to watch the final segment.

“He watched it in the production meeting and a few people in there had watched it already. After it was over, it ended and everybody clapped and stood up, and he was kind of looking around and he told a couple of people, ‘I don’t get it, I just… I don’t get it. If it does good, if it does a number, then I’m truly out of touch.’ I think he said that.”

The Ultimate Deletion match ended up getting over three million viewers in the final hour of RAW, while it continued to trend on social media for four hours after the show had finished.

WWE brought out merchandise based on the unique match type, but it turned out to be Hardy’s one and only Ultimate Deletion match during his time in WWE.
