The chant comes from Matt Hardy's Broken Matt Hardy character, which debuted in TNA Impact Wrestling in 2016. Performing as an eccentric, theatrical version of himself, Hardy would order opponents and problems to be deleted, and crowds quickly began chanting along. Clips of the promos circulated widely on YouTube and social media, turning the single word into a wrestling meme beyond the ring. It remains popular because the meaning is instantly clear even without context, making it easy to reuse for removals, rejections and exaggerated overreactions online.

Matt Hardy shouting DELETE from his Broken wrestling persona, used as a loud reaction clip to reject, remove or mock something online and in memes.
This is Matt Hardy performing his Broken Matt Hardy catchphrase, stretching the word delete into a loud, theatrical shout that repeats and builds in intensity. His exaggerated delivery, with a strange dramatic accent and rising volume, turns a simple command into a comedic outburst. The clip feels confrontational but clearly playful, which is why it lands as a joke rather than genuine anger. Viewers instantly read it as final rejection, as if the target has been erased completely, and the repetition makes the moment more absurd and memorable with each shout.
