5 Real-life relationships between WWE stars that ended badly

The life of a WWE Superstar looks fancy and amazing, but it is an extremely tough job. Talents must compete multiple times a week and are always on the road in different parts of the world.

While being on the road, stars develop a close bond with their co-workers, and it sometimes leads to a romantic relationship. We have instances of multiple wrestlers who met in the Stamford-based company and ended up getting married.

However, not every story has a beautiful ending; not all relationships work, and some see a nasty end that leaves a lifelong scar. In this article, let's take a look at some real-life WWE romances that ended on a bad note:

#5. Lita and Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy and Lita began dating in 1999. However, things changed in 2005 when Hardy went off the road due to a knee injury. During her boyfriend's absence, Lita started to travel with her and Matt’s good friend at that time, Adam Copeland (FKA Edge). This led to the two entering into a romantic relationship.

After Matt learned about the betrayal, he spilled the beans on the internet and was subsequently released from his WWE contract.

However, the veteran was recalled after the audience’s massive support for him, and the Vince McMahon-led creative team crafted an on-screen storyline based on the real-life incident. To this day, Matt and Lita are reportedly not on good terms with each other.
