Edge “Didn’t Enjoy” Adult WWE Storyline With Lita In 2006

Edge and Lita had perhaps the most controversial relationship angle in the entire WWE history that had a tremendous impact over both of their careers. It eventually helped them to earn the status of the Rated R couple in the WWE. Initially, people would think that it didn’t have a negative effect on them as they have been involved in a real-life relationship but the truth was somewhat different.

As a special guest on The Kurt Angle Show, WWE Hall of Famer Edge spoke about his career and the time he originally spent as “The Rated R Superstar”. The veteran discussed the positives and negatives of that heel persona. He surprisingly admitted that at that time he hated the character the most. But just because he was a committed person to the WWE, he went ahead with that vulgar storyline.

Edge-Lita Live Sex Celebration: WWE Star Wanted to Recreate The Scene

“I think when everything with Matt [Hardy] and [Lita], I didn’t enjoy any of that, that was hard,” Edge admitted. “It was a position that I put myself in and thought okay, I made my bed, I just got to deal with this. Then I thought okay, we’re here now, how can we pull a positive? Let’s make some money. That’s what we did, this is the situation, now let’s try and get something good out of this pretty lousy scenario, the matches were [good] though because I loved working with Matt.”

Edge reached the peak of his career with Lita

The 47-year-old superstar also noted that his next feud with John Cena was supposed to be short-term, but it continued for a long time as they showed tremendous chemistry. Over time, the two ended up creating one of the best feuds in WWE history.

As for Edge and Lita, it was formed as a love triangle also involving Matt Hardy in the scene. Hardy, at that time, was the real-life husband of Lita when she got involved in an adultery relationship with the Ultimate Opportunist of the WWE. This supposedly created a rift between the two alpha males of the Raw roster over the woman. Ultimately, Hardy was released from his WWE contract while his adversary proceeded to have a Hall of Fame career.

Edge also cashed in Money in the Bank briefcase on John Cena at New Year’s Revolution 2006 to become the new WWE Champion. He then proceeded to have a “Live Sex Celebration” segment on Raw that had a 5.2 rating. This cemented the Rated R persona who would go on to claim himself to be the “most-watched champion ever.”
