Matt Hardy Recalls the Aftermath of the Botched Spot at Survivor Series 2005 With the Undertaker
Images via WWE Professional wrestling is famously built on hierarchy. The concept of locker room leaders and a designated wrestler's court is well known. So it is only fitting that The Undertaker found himself in these leadership roles behind the curtains. And of the wrestlers to face The Deadman's wrath was Matt Hardy. The incident dates back to 2005, the same year Hardy was fired owing to his infamous real-life love triangle with Edge and Lita. With heavy demand from the fans, Hardy was re-signed to the WWE, only to fall into trouble once again. Matt Hardy Had Backstage Heat With the Undertaker for Quite a While On a recent episode of 'Ask Matt Hardy Anything' podcast, the former WWE tag team champion revealed that the company 'punished' him for spoiling an angle at Survivor Series 2005. During the PPV, Randy Orton came out victorious in the traditional 5 vs. 5 Survivor Series Elimination match, with the event marking the return of The Undertaker. As 'The Phenom' entered the ring, Hardy was told by Vince McMahon to leave the ring in fear. However, Hardy botched the angle and moved out rather slowly, thus taking away the theatrical feel of the grand return. 'I know they were going to make me pay for forcing the fans to bring me back. So I kind of did that. There was the Survivor Series incident where Undertaker was coming out, coming in the ring, and beating up people, and it was right after Eddie died. So, like, things had changed, and I was supposed to be in a different match, and then I was in the ring, and I just thought like, 'Hey, do you really want me in this scenario in the ring?' 'And I remember even asking Vince about it and some of the other guys. Vince said, 'Well, I need someone of importance in the ring, so just be in the ring and just, you know, kind of get out of there quickly or whatever' ASK MATT HARDY ANYTHING! The Team Xtreme member added, 'And then I remember speaking to one of the agents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2만원의 기부팔찌로 첫 후원하기 굿네이버스 더 알아보기 Undo They said, 'Okay, well, if that's what Vince told you to do, do it.' And I ended up — I was like leaning on the ropes, and I was probably in the wrong. Undertaker ended up being hot about it, and I had heat with Undertaker for a while." Hardy revealed that the aftermath of the incident was difficult as he was essentially used as a jobber owing to that mistake. 'I just went through a period of putting people over, getting beat, getting punished, and it was what it was. And I just weathered the storm and then got back on track.' In the early 2000s, the WWE locker room was infamous for incidents like this. Another prominent event was how The Miz was kicked out of the locker room when he was new to the WWE. The former world title holder accidentally ate a chicken sandwich over referee Chris Armstrong's bag. According to Chris Benoit, this act was disrespectful who then banished the future WWE champion and had to change in the bathroom for events.

Tammy Lynn Sytch to Sable: 5 WWE female wrestlers accused of cheating on their husbands
WWE is home to famous wrestlers, whose personalities and on-screen presence appear larger than life. But like everyone else, they too encounter real-life problems behind the curtain. A host of professional wrestlers have gained notoriety for being unfaithful to their husbands. Here's a look at five WWE female stars known for such cheating scandals: Sable was a big name during the WWE's Attitude Era. She was famously married to fellow wrestler Marc Mero from 1994 to 2004. Following her return to professional wrestling in 2003 after a brief hiatus, she began an affair with Brock Lesnar while she was still married. Due to cultural differences, her divorce from Mero was delayed, and the couple ultimately parted ways in 2004. After a scandalous relationship with Lesnar, she exchanged vows with him in 2006. The couple went on to welcome two kids together. Sunny was the first Diva WWE had in the early 1990s. She exhibited both confidence and looks. She had many admirers, one of whom was Shawn Michaels. The pair allegedly began seeing each other behind the scenes while she was in a serious relationship with wrestler Chris Candido. Candido did not believe rumours about his then-wife cheating on him at that time. It was later alleged that she may have also had links to wrestlers like Davey Boy Smith, Raven, Ahmed Johnson, and Sabu. However, Sunny eventually admitted to cheating on Candido more than once.

When the news about the affair broke, Lita's relationship with Hardy ended. Over the years, Hardy and Edge developed a rivalry, with WWE highlighting their scandal. Melina, a former Divas and Women's Champion, once famously dated fellow wrestler John Morrison (AKA Johnny Nitro). While they were always seen together both in and out of the ring, it was rumoured that Melina cheated on Morrison with Batista. This caused a strain in their relationship as Morrison allegedly took a break from their relationship at the time. However, some reports claim that the alleged affair caused them to ultimately part ways. Lisa Marie Varon, famously known as Victoria, was married to Lee Varon from 1994 to 2015. Amid her growing fame, she notoriously had an affair with John Cena. The 54-year-old eventually called it quits with Lee.
