5. The affair was the reason behind WWE firing Matt Hardy
The storyline became so personal that Edge and Matt Hardy could hardly stand each other at backstage. Edge was one of the most valuable superstars on the roster. So WWE could not take any chances to keep the situation volatile around backstage. As per Edge and Lita’s wish, WWE released him. But the ‘we want Matt’ petition became one of the most significant chants wherever Edge and Lita went to do shows. So WWE brought him back in July 2005.

6. Edge and Lita did not like the “live sex celebration” on Raw
WWE channelled perhaps the most controversial segments on live TV named “live sex celebration” in January 2006. Edge received the nickname of Rated R Superstar by going intimate with Lita on Monday Night Raw. The “live sex celebration” became one of the highest Nielsen ratings of the modern era and made Lita the top-most woman heel the company had to offer. But she was not happy with the idea, at all.

Lita urged her family and friends not to watch Monday Night Raw on that night. She was not happy with the creative team going forward with the idea including Vince McMahon. The Boss reportedly wanted to do a completely nude segment which later got cut short. But Lita’s private parts were wide open during one of the wardrobe malfunction incidents. Even Edge seemed unhappy and clueless about what he was going to do in front of the live crowd.
