Back in the day, these four men were massivley responsible for delivering some high-octane tag team matches, which left the WWE Universe often stunned. Seeing them feud on several occasions, one would assume The Hardy Boyz had a severe hate relationship with Edge and Christian. However, that wasn't the case.

In fact, as per Edge, the four men would regularly go for meals and discuss their matches. While the relationship between the two teams took a turn when Lita left Matt Hardy for Edge, over the years, these superstars have worked out their differences and have a decent relationship with each other.
