5 sets of WWE Superstars who hated each other
Given the nature of professional wrestling, some guys and girls are bound to clash behind the scenes. It’s a business that requires a lot of egos to be present, and because of this, a lot of superstars get so invested in their character and their booking that they start to blow up the bridges they’ve spent years building.
Then again, some people just have a clash of personalities, and that’s not surprising given how often it happens in other sporting environments. Sometimes things can be resolved relatively quickly, but in these five instances the blood was boiling, and the heat between them was incredibly real - for longer than just a few weeks or months.
The majority of people here have kissed and made up in recent times, but that doesn’t remove the history between them. As fans, we always enjoy peeking through the curtain of WWE and seeing what things are like from a backstage perspective, and these incidents, in particular, are difficult to hide from the general public. If it were up to the company, the majority of these beefs would be swept under the rug pretty swiftly.
So with that being said, here are five sets of WWE superstars who hated each other.
#1 Edge vs. Matt Hardy
This is about as personal as you can get, with former friends Edge and Matt Hardy squaring off in one of the most hard-hitting feuds in professional wrestling history. Essentially, Matt Hardy and Lita were dating in real life when Matt was sidelined with an injury. Because of this, Lita decided to ride with a close friend of hers – Edge, also known as Adam Copeland.
The two began to get close and eventually they got together, which naturally led to a bitter hatred between Matt and Edge. The company ended up firing Matt before re-hiring him to turn this into an on-screen rivalry because of course, they did. Nowadays they’ve supposedly kissed and made up, but you can never be too sure.
Woo.. kind of.
