TNA Wrestling scored big on the ratings for The Final Deletion featuring Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero. According to the latest rumors, the WWE wants to replicate the success of it with a Compound Match between The New Day and The Wyatt Family.
The Final Deletion broke the record for TNA's highest ratings ever on Pop TV, What Culture reported. The Impact episode featuring the craziest, entertaining and awful match of the year pulled in 411,000 viewers.
It was up from last week's numbers of 322,000 viewers and the week before that of 302,000. The match that happened in Matt Hardy' backyard that also featured drones, Matt's terrible accent and acting, Willow, Senor Benjamin and many more crazy spots got the wrestling world buzzing.
Wrestling personalities such as WWE superstar Chris Jericho, veteran wrestler Lance Storm and Hollywood screenwriter Max Landis gave The Final Deletion great reviews. Of course, some blasted the poorly filmed match but it is a success no matter what anyone thinks.
#TheFinalDeletion was brilliant! @MATTHARDYBRAND & @JEFFHARDYBRAND killed it! #BrokenMatt is the best character in @IMPACTWRESTLING history.

According to Cageside Seats, The Final Deletion has inspired the WWE's idea of The New Day confronting The Wyatt Family in their compound. It is expected that the WWE might book a Compound Match between the two teams.
In the recent episode of Monday Night Raw, Bray Wyatt challenged Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E. to come to their compound. Kingston and Big E. accepted the challenge but Woods did not like the idea and walked out.
Many fans believe that it was the WWE planting the seeds of The New Day's eventual breakup. Some top officials are pushing for the WWE Tag Team champions to drop the title against The Wyatt Family at Battleground.
And after their breakup, those same officials will give Big E a huge singles push but others disagree with the idea. They reportedly think it is not the right time to split The New Day up because they are still one of the top merchandise sellers.
If Big E. gets pushed, Kingston and Woods likely gets lost in the shuffle of the WWE mid card where careers go to die. Nonetheless, it is a big deal that the WWE would replicate an idea from TNA and actually use it for a major feud.
