Edge, aka Adam Copeland, details when he buried the hatchet with long-time WWE rival
WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland aka Edge received a grand exit from the Stamford-based promotion after his win over Sheamus on SmackDown. Recently, The Rated-R Superstar revealed when he buried the hatchet with a popular star and his on-screen rival.
During the Ruthless Aggression era, Edge and Lita's affair created controversy, which became an on-screen feud between The Rated-R Superstar and Matt Hardy. The two superstars have had differences in the past during their time in WWE.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, Adam Copeland talked about when he buried the hatchet with Matt Hardy, and revealed that it happened a long time ago. The Rated-R Superstar also stated the two have the same chemistry after their fallout, and it took a while for the fans to understand that the two have resolved their past issues.
"I mean, honestly, it wasn't that long. I think kind of once we went through that and once we both realized, okay, still the same guys and still have the same chemistry, still have the same everything. So, I feel like the fan base took a lot longer to come around to the idea that we were okay than we did. It was pretty quickly, and then you just got to move on." [H/T: CVV]
