#1 WWE romantic angle that worked: Matt Hardy, Edge, and Lita
Trending
The love triangle between Matt Hardy, Edge, and Lita was one of the biggest and most explosive storylines that WWE had seen. The drama between the trio also translated to real life, where Lita had left Hardy for Edge.
In 2005, Lita was in an on-screen relationship with Kane, who she had been forced to marry against her will. During the storyline, Lita broke off the marriage with Kane to join Edge. Around this time, Lita and Matt Hardy had broken up as she began dating his friend Edge, following an affair.
During this time, Matt Hardy was fired from WWE for his online conduct regarding the situation. Hardy was later rehired by the company, and when he returned, Lita has turned heel and aligned herself with her new boyfriend Edge on screen.
Edge and Hardy engaged in an intense feud, with Lita standing by the side of Edge. The rivalry ended when The Rated R-Superstar won a ladder match against Hardy with the help of Lita, and Hardy was moved the SmackDown as a stipulation.
The on-screen relationship between Edge and Lita continued for a while, and RAW hit record ratings for their risque in-ring celebration the week after Edge won the WWE Championship from John Cena.
