5 Romantic storylines involving Lita in WWE

#5. Matt Hardy and Edge

Lita had a huge angle involving Edge and Matt Hardy

It is really hard to talk about Lita's relationship with Edge without mentioning Matt Hardy and vice versa. In a case of storyline imitating real life, the feud between Edge and Matt Hardy which turned the Rated R Superstar into a true main eventer had Lita front and center.

Lita was in a real-life relationship with storyline partner Matt Hardy in 2005. When Hardy was at home dealing with injuries, Lita began traveling on the road with their common friend, Edge and soon started an affair with him. Hardy found out about it and made it public.

WWE developed the real-life issue into a storyline and paired Edge and Lita on-screen with a rehired Matt Hardy looking to take revenge. It was Hardy's first major singles feud in the WWE, with a series of three matches booked against Edge.

After trading victories, they had their blow off in a ladder match on RAW. Lita would interject herself, holding Hardy to the ropes while Edge ascended the ladder to win the match. Hardy would be moved to SmackDown with Lita continued to be paired with Edge.

Edge and Lita captured World titles during their time together

Lita would be in Edge's corner when he cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase to win his first WWE title and would prove to be a great addition in Edge's early feuds with John Cena over the Championship with even a segment on RAW promising 'hot, unbridled intimacy'' between Edge and Lita which gave WWE its highest TV rating in over a year.

After more than a year by Edge's side and capturing the Women's title multiple times, Lita would end her in-ring career with a match against Mickie James at Survivor Series 2006 until she returned years later.
