Matt Hardy, Reby Sky react to the Wyatts/New Day ‘compound match’ on Raw

It didn’t take a genius to recognize #TheFinalDeletion’s influence on the segment from Raw last night (July 11) when The New Day visited the Wyatt Family compound. Heck, even I recognized it.

While not a carbon copy for a litany of reasons, it was clearly not a coincidence WWE would decide to present an outdoor fight less than a week after Matt and Jeff Hardy’s feud-ender (for now) became an internet sensation for TNA.

And a couple of stars of Impact Wrestling and the angle itself commented on the influence their work had on Raw.

What do you think, Cagesiders? Should the Hardys be honored, or outraged?

One thing we can all agree on, though, is that it needed more Senor Benjamin...
