10 Best Matt Hardy Matches

10. Vs. Edge (Unforgiven 2005)

After a SummerSlam 2005 misfire got Edge and Matt Hardy's blood feud off to a stuttering start, the pair turned up the Sports Entertainment for their weapons-heavy battles on Monday Night Raw either side of an iconic cage match victory for the wronged man.

It was only really in these circumstances Matt was permitted a win. In truth, his return had done more to further Edge's singles trajectory than his own, with the feud comprehensively going the way of the 'Rated-R Superstar' by the close of the year. Miraculously, their ability to put understandably tense personal differences to one side resulted in the programme being one of the stronger shoot-to-work series', and the cage match was the undisputed highlight of their run.

With a top-of-the-cage legdrop conclusion Matt presumably regrets in 2018, Hardy laid many of his personal demons to rest in the most cathartic manner possible. The mesh provided the ideal background for their conflict too. Lita - the woman between the men - was forced to bear witness to the violence she'd helped create. Fury at love (and briefly, livelihood) lost burst out of Hardy's every pore in what was up to that point his most convicing ever singles display.
