Fans noted that several offensive messages were shared from AEW veteran star Matt Hardy’s account. Some of the messages also targeted Matt’s wife Reby Hardy, and his brother Jeff Hardy. The on and off-screen beef between Matt Hardy and Edge over Lita is not a secret. The hacker also referred to that.
From the guy who hacked Matt Hardy on Twitter:
“Anyone who buys $PEPE and sends proof I’ll leak the video of me f***ing Jeff’s wife.
me and jeff’s beef was real he fucked my wife because I made fun of his wife for having a yeast infection #ITSTRUE
Shit if I was edge I woulda f***ed Lita too ngl”
Bruce Prichard opened up on the controversy
Matt Hardy and Lita began dating in 1999, and by 2004, their relationship had already become rocky. After Hardy was shelved with a severe knee injury, Lita started traveling with their close friend, Edge. Matt’s absence caused Lita to begin an affair with Edge, who was married at the time, and Lita herself was still with Matt, creating a very uncomfortable and chaotic situation.
Upon discovering their affair, an enraged Matt Hardy made the whole thing public and posted all their dirty laundry on the internet. Hardy was released from his WWE contract due to his unprofessional conduct on social media. The real-life drama eventually became a storyline, and Edge and Lita soon became the hottest heels on Raw.
While speaking on a 2016 episode of Something to Wrestle, Bruce Prichard revealed that there was legitimate backstage heat on Edge & Lita owing to the Matt Hardy cheating scandal. He also addressed the accusations that Matt Hardy had against John Laurinaitis that he was treated unfairly.
