The Rated R Superstar and Hardy had a memorable feud in 2005 because of their real-life controversy. While Hardy was out due to an injury, it was revealed that his girlfriend at the time, Lita, cheated on him with Edge.
In a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former WWE Superstar revealed that the conflict caused some concern to Vince McMahon.
Matt continued and said that Vince threatened them and said that neither of them will work in the industry again if they hurt each other:
The 2005 match saw the Hall of Famer come out victorious after the referee stopped the match.
Matt Hardy said Vince McMahon wanted an animal-like WWE match
In the same interview, the AEW star added that McMahon gave them bizarre advice about how he wanted the match to play out. The former chairman wanted their match to look like animals in the wild.
The former WWE Superstar later stated that they were shaken up following the advice. However, he suggested that it was probably a way for Vince to mend things between Hardy and Edge.
