I distinctly remember that universe's Monitor being present within that universe right after Monarch's containment breach alongside a plant. It wasn't completely destroyed.

They didn't destroy the universe in the sense that we are all thinking of.
Nightcrawler's dimension literally consisted of a couple of islands/landmasses (look through Hulk #126 and you'll realize this). Nightcrawler sent a sonic force at Hulk, Hulk deflected it with a thunderclap which destroyed the islands in the dimension, and that's all.
It sure does sound impressive, when the issue says "a cosmic being ripped asunder". Or that retelling from Defenders v1 #1. But when you consider the context, not so much.
Here's Nightcrawler's Marvel Legacy handbook confirming that all they did, was destroy the dimension's land masses:
