The Edge, Lita & Matt Hardy Love Triangle

The love triangle between Lita Edge & Matt Hardy is a storied affair. It all began in the late 90's where Lita and Matt Hardy became friends at an indy show. Slowly that love blossomed into something bigger in the WWE. It was there where Matt's good friend Edge hooked up with lita while Matt was injured. When Matt found out about this things didnt go well.

Well It Could've Been Worst Like She Could've Cheated With His Brother Jeff Hardy Instead Of His Best Friend Edge Which That Would've Been The Lowest Of The Lowest If Lita Had Cheated On Matt Hardy With His Brother Jeff? Or If Jeff Would've Gotten Her Instead Of Edge Getting Her?

This story line is an example of why booking is so important, this feud for all the crap it caused him could've made him a star on the same level as his brother, imagine when edge cashes in his money in the bank on John cena and becomes wwe champion you have matt win the royal rumble and boom edge vs Matt hardy for the wwe championship at wrestlemania and as for cena? Cena vs taker in their primes win win for everyone

[@dj2k460]

First match would be at summerslam in a unsanctioned match, Matt hardy gets the win Second match at unforgiven, steel cage match loser leaves raw edge wins and ( in storyline ) have edge injury hardy so bad that it puts him on the shelf Royal rumble Matt hardy returns for the smackdown brand and wins the rumble while edge retains vs cena and this sets up edge vs hardy 3 at wrestlemania for the wwe championship and you go all out for this feud have Lita play both side and try to get in Matt's head, have edge play mind games with hardy and make him doubt himself, then st wrestlemania the two go head to head and Matt hardy overcomes the odds and wins the match, this makes him the ultimate baby face and a star along with edge people who csn be multiple world champions making Matt stronger makes his match vs Jeff even better as you can add the world heavyweight championship to the mix Matt goes from being just another guy to someone on the level of at least Eddie Guerrero as champion

[@jamesburgess2k]

You can tell this storyline was quickly made because as Vince often says, "it can make money". Matt Hardy should've been a mega babyface for the next 5 years and could've been a much bigger star heading off to SmackDown, but they clearly didn't care about the long-term, and just wanted to cash in on the drama at the moment. This story had legs for at least 3-4 months if booked right, but it was quickly discarded in order to get back to their original plans.

Its a big hit and successful show all around the world its big and one of the greatest storyline that the world will never forget in the history of WWE. Remind me of my childhood moments and JOHN CENA was the greatest and all the fans love him and I was a huge fan of him I remember that how much I used to hate EDGE & LITA when EDGE won the WWE championship cheating and win unfairly we all though everything was real cause were only a kid and it look so real even though its an entertainment but we never understand that because It was also real with all their move's that always amaze us as a kid and always attempt the move's with our friends its great memory to remember those days and now It put a smile on my face and laugh about it cause of joy thinking off this remind me how foolish and stupid we used to be we all think it was real when we are a kid because it was all fake but at the same time it was also real.
