looking at the battleword map there's definitely some sort of divider between 616 and ultimate.
So yeah they probably weren't meant to mix and then Tony screwed up with that portal.
It did a very poor job of explaining that if it's the case, they're talking like they opened up a new universe
I think that's what the problem is. Maybe 1610 Stark messed with the portal and accidentally merged what were two separate domains.
Fury says something about "sending them back."
and Ult Hawkeye is worried about "Doom finding out about the mess they've made."
OH and maybe it ends up in a fight between 616 and 1610 because Doom decrees only one 'universe' can remain in what is now a singular domain as punishment.
Edit: and IF 616 actually does kill off 1610 in this scenario it still means Miles and The Maker make it over after Secret Wars because they were on the life rafts.
It's tie-ins like this that make me wish stories could be edited when they're being collected into graphic novel form.
