Matt Hardy Bio

Matt Hardy is a six time tag team champion and at one time teamed up with his younger brother Jeff Hardy as they were known as the Hardy Boyz. He has also been very successful as a singles competitor. His WWF career began in 1998 when he and his brother were given contracts. From 1998 to 2001 Matt was part of the Hardy Boyz tag team and after that has mostly wrestled in singles competition but still didn't give up on tag team wrestling as he and his brother still had great success together but there also came a period were Matt & Jeff couldn't get along. One of the famous stories in Matt's career was about his real life love life with WWE diva Lita, whom Matt was with for 6 years. The relationship came to an end in February of 2005 when Lita had an affair with fellow WWE superstar Edge. Along with his friend Rhyno, Matt Hardy was released by WWE on April 11, 2005. Edge and Lita received jeers from the crowds at WWE events, sometimes resulting in chants, "You screwed Matt," and, "We want Matt." Paul Heyman, in a worked shoot promo, mocked Edge for his actions at One Night Stand 2005. Lita, for the first time in over five years, turned heel as a result of the affair becoming public knowledge. Matt Hardy released two character promotional vignettes, that he was planning to use before he was offered a new contract by WWE. Hardy called himself The Angelic Diablo with the tagline "the scar will become a symbol" in reference to the way in which he has been treated by Lita and WWE. On the June 20, 2005 edition of RAW, during the storyline wedding of Edge and Lita, Matt Hardy's entrance music and video were played when the priest asked if anyone had a reason why Edge and Lita should not be wed. On the July 11, 2005 episode of RAW, Matt Hardy made his return, attacking Edge as he made his way to the ring. On the July 13, 2005 edition of WWE's webcast Byte This!, which featured Lita as its guest, one of the callers was Matt himself. The two engaged in a huge argument which led to Lita walking off the set. Matt ended up winning the tag-team title with his enemy MVP as they were forced to team together and beat Deuce and Domino. They have since lost the titles to the Miz and Jim Morrison after Hardy was back-stabbed by MVP, a move many saw coming. Hardy was injured in the altercation and had to take some time off for his injurie. After being out for around five months Hardy made a surprise visit at Wrestlemania XXIV when he interfered in the 'Money in the Bank Ladder Match'. With MVP looking like he may when it, Hardy went in the ring and gave MVP a 'twist of fate' right before MVP could grab the suitcase. After that Hardy returned to Smackdown and had a mission to get MVP's United States Championship. That opportunity came April 27, 2008 at Backlash when Hardy beat MVP and became the United States Champion.
