WWE: 10 Most Famous Loser Leaves Town Retirement Matches

6. Edge vs. Matt Hardy (WWE Homecoming)

More than any other match on this list, the loser leaves Raw ladder match between former best friends Matt Hardy and Edge was built on very real, very deep animosity. When Hardy found out that his longtime girlfriend had been seeing his closest pal behind his back, he exposed them in public forums every chance he got. Lita and Edge for their part, kept quiet on the subject until WWE decided there was money to be made and worked it into the show. Matt, the scorned lover, was the clear babyface in the eyes of the fans and they unloaded on the Rated R Superstar and his paramour. Gone was the goofiness of five second poses and sodas ruling, Edge was a serious player and using his questionable morality to his advantage. Hardy's bad Mattitude was obvious in his performances and it's amazing that he was able to keep things professional. WWE had the two get it on in a few high-profile matches before they decided to cut the feud off prematurely and have them battle it out one final time at Raw Homecoming in a loser leaves Raw match, where the winner would be transferred to SmackDown. To up the stakes, it was booked as a ladder match, a specialty of both men. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBcfw-ZR8q8 Edge tied Hardy in the ropes and Lita wrapped him up, preventing his escape. He was helpless while the love of his life assisted another man in causing him what was essentially a career demotion. The ending was a little uncomfortable as Matt remained tangled, watching two people he used to trust taunt him while groping each other right in front of his face. Year later, Hardy has shown himself to be a little off his rocker and the sentiment shifted away from Lita being the adulterous slut she was labeled as, while Edge had no trouble rejoining the fans' good graces when his heel stint had ran its course.
