WWE officials were reportedly dissatisfied with Hardy’s performance at Saturday night’s Royal Rumble.

This past Saturday, Hardy performed his “Sold Out” single on stage at The Alamodome, following the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and before the main event. Hardy wrote this year’s Royal Rumble theme song, and it was not the first time he collaborated with WWE.

Hardy’s performance was largely scoffed by WWE sources, according to a recent Fightful Select report. According to reports, some viewers felt that the performance compromised the show.
