The love triangle surrounding Edge, Matt Hardy, and Lita has become a wrestling legend but even though it was later turned into a WWE storyline, some real people were hurt at the time.

Matt Hardy was written off WWE TV back in 2005 when he suffered an injury and Lita was then aligned with Edge. The two stars became much closer than co-workers and when Hardy found out, he began venting his issues online which didn't land him in a favorable position with WWE.

The decision was made to terminate Hardy's contract since WWE officials were worried that there could be a few issues with Edge in the WWE locker room following the affair.

The WWE Universe was not pleased with WWE following the decision and pushed for him to be rehired, which he was a few weeks later. Hardy's revenge was then made into a storyline with Edge that year which culminated in a Loser Leaves RAW ladder match in 2005.

Luckily, both Hardy and Edge have since gone on to have illustrious wrestling careers and this entire story is now just a distant memory.
