The Ultimate Deletion was one of the most bewildering, confusing and, dare we say it, delightful matches in the history of sports-entertainment. The WWE Universe was enthralled by “Woken” Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt’s over-the-top battle on The Hardy Compound, but there was one person who was less-than-enthused by the unorthodox main event.
Just prior to the start of The Ultimate Deletion, Michael Cole dismissed the anticipated affair as “obnoxious,” which didn’t sit well with The Woken One later in the night after The Eater of Worlds vanished into the murky, mystical waters of The Lake of Reincarnation.
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

“I’ve learned of the BLASPHEMY that the OBSOLETE MULE @Michael Cole SPEWED from his MUZZLE,” Hardy tweeted. “@Vanguard1AAR, put the HERETIC on your SURVEILLANCE schedule. If this continues, he must be DELETED!”
The Woken One’s sentient drone was more than happy to oblige.

On any given day, it’s tough to ascertain exactly what kind of fifth-dimensional chess game “Woken” Matt Hardy is playing, but it’s easy to see that he’s moving his pieces into place for the final press.
Following Bray Wyatt’s challenge to The Woken One on Monday Night Raw, Hardy took to his Twitter account (which, by the way, you should check out — it’s wild) to boast of absorbing Wyatt’s sinister essence into his own magnificence and an “Ultimate Deletion” that will finally put his rivalry with The Reaper of Souls to rest.
By ABSORBING part of Bray Wyatt's ESSENCE, it has allowed my #BROKENBrilliance PASSAGE into both the LIGHT and the DARK..
It shall be needed to obtain VICTORY in #TheGreatWar.

What he’s talking about is anybody’s guess. But it sounds like it could be pretty … wonderful!

In the famous words of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Well, in the case of several WWE Superstars, perhaps there is a bit more to fear than that. Whether it’s anxiety brought on by heights, mice, crowds or something a bit more complex, even the toughest competitor can succumb to hair-raising terror. As Raw’s exclusive pay-per-view, WWE No Mercy, lurks on the horizon, find out what deep, dark phobias make WWE grapplers scream for mercy!
Jeff Hardy – For this extreme high-flyer, fear slithers on the ground
“I have a fear of snakes. They are all around by my house. When I’m weeding the pond, I see water moccasins all the time. It freaks me out a bit, but I’m starting to overcome it with the help of my 6-year-old daughter. She loves them!”
Nikki Bella – Fearless turns fearful against eight-legged adversaries or on trips to the circus
“For me, it’s spiders and clowns, especially with the movie ‘It’ out right now. Oh, also ‘FOMO.’ That’s probably my biggest phobia. I have major fear of missing out. And that’s why I never sleep. I always want to be at every party, every event, hanging out with everyone.”
Rhyno – Ready to Gore the door if there’s a mouse in the house
“Mice … also rats, but definitely mice. If I see a mouse in my place, I would probably scream like a girl and jump up on the chair. I’d definitely be moving, jumping, on a chair, on Heath Slater. They just freak me out.”
Sasha Banks – The Boss goes on high alert when scary films go bump in the night
“Actually, my No. 1 fear is a fear of failing. It scares me big time. It gives me anxiety and makes me stay up at night. But I also have a fear of watching scaring movies at night. If it’s pitch black out and I’m watching a scary movie, I will look out the window and think the bad guy is out there. I also hate the feeling, specifically the texture, of velvet. It gives me severe chills.”
Karl Anderson – Strong, skilled and taking the stairs
Karl Anderson: “I despise elevators. I think it started when I was in Japan, for one reason or another. Whenever the elevator takes off too slow or the door doesn’t open quick enough, I start to freak out a little bit. Luke Gallows knows all about it and likes to use it to his advantage.”
