"He was very envious" - Matt Hardy says former WWE World Champion was jealous of The Hardy Boyz

Matt Hardy says former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Christian was envious of the duo during their days in WWE.

The Hardy Boyz became one of the hottest tag teams of the decade due to their death-defying stunts and extreme matches. After the team split up, they both became successful singles stars within the company.

Another team that was synonymous with TLC matches was Edge and Christian. Edge went on to become an 11-time world champion. Meanwhile, Christian Cage won the gold twice in WWE. Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt recalled the time when Cage was envious of him and Jeff during their WWE days:

"Whenever Jeff slipped off the top rope, he said he cheered in his house because he was so mad that we got contracts, and he did. He cheered for Jeff's Jeff's destruction, which is a funny story that we still share all the time now, and eventually, he got signed and we all ended up being okay. We ended up being best frenemies, but that's a very funny but true story. He was very envious of Jeff and I when we first signed and he cheered when Jeff slipped off the top rope from a moonsault body block to the floor.” [H/T - Fightful]

It will be interesting to see if Cage has a response to Hardy's claims. He currently manages Luchasauras in AEW.
