10 Best Edge & Christian Vs Hardy Boyz Matches, Ranked

Every WWE fan knows that the Attitude Era belonged to top guys like The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, and other guys who were able to crack through the glass ceiling. But the four guys who broke through and shattered perceptions of what tag team wrestling could be were the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian. They were four of the most talented young wrestlers of the era who got over with their tremendous work ethic.

The amazing matches they would work didn’t hurt either. The two tag teams wrestled plenty during the Attitude Era in all kinds of matches. Steel cage matches, ladders, fatal four ways, triple threats. You name it, they worked it. Here are 10 Of The Best Edge & Christian Vs Hardy Boyz Matches, Ranked.

10 Terri Invitational Finals - No Mercy 1999

It’s the match that made all four men. Five years prior, Shawn and Razor defined the Ladder Match at WrestleMania X. At No Mercy 1999, the Hardy’s, Edge, and Christian defied all expectations and raised the bar.

The finals of the Terri Invitational all boiled down to a Ladder Match for a hundred grand and her managerial services. They laid it all out on the line (which they always did anyway) and got a standing ovation from the crowd not just at the show, but on the next night on Raw.

9 Cage Match - Unforgiven 2000

They wrestled with ladders, tables, and vampires. The real and kayfabe sets of brothers already worked all over the world in all kinds of matches. Might as well lock them up in a cage and watch how high they can fly and hard they can crash and burn.

With both men from a team having to escape the cage, Jeff got out fairly quickly due to getting shoved out by Edge. But that left Matt getting double-teamed and Jeff trying to worm his way back into the cage, which he did with a massive Whisper In The Wind.

8 Ladder Match - Extreme Rules 2009

By 2009, not only had and Edge and Jeff Hardy both established themselves as great singles stars. Ten years after their first ladder match, these two men were now fighting over the World Championship in the very same match that made them.

Both men showed why they were auteurs of how to do the ladder match justice. As is the norm with any combination of these men and ladders, it did not disappoint and was very innovative.

7 TLC I - SummerSlam 2000

After using all sorts of hardware to destroy each other at WrestleMania 2000, Commissioner Foley made the match official - Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (“oh my!”).

With the event emanating from North Carolina, the locals were primed for their hometown Hardys to come away with the gold. They flew to the ring and got to work early on trying to make that a reality. But after getting heaved off of ladders, into tables and a vicious spear from Edge to Lita, the defending champions, Edge and Christian walked away with their gold.

6 Loser Leaves Raw - Raw Homecoming

It had been a hellacious few months for Matt Hardy. He found out that his girlfriend had been cheating on him with his best friend, Edge. Then after he complained about too much, the WWE fired him and pushed Edge to the stratosphere. It seems like an angle, but it was one of the most scandalous backstage stories that had ever come to light.

Once he was rehired, Matt waged war on Edge and Lita until this ladder match; not just for the Money In The Bank briefcase, but the loser had to leave Raw. Matt tried valiantly but, in the end, found himself tied up in the ropes with his ex-girlfriend holding him back as Edge climbed the ladder to exile Matt Hardy from Raw.

5 European Title Triple Threat - Backlash 2001

Matt Hardy and Christian have nothing always been considered the less charismatic, but more technical members of their respective teams. Whether that’s true or not is debatable, but fans will always and expect and exciting match from these two whenever they have at it.

Toss in a little spice in the way of Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero into the mix and you have an exciting Triple Threat for the European Championship.

4 Battle At Earl’s Court - Insurrextion 2000

No ladders, tables, or chairs - just two of the top teams going out it for the tag team gold in Earl’s Court for the first-ever Insurrextion PPV. While these four were always able to shine no matter the stipulation or the number of people in the match, here they all got to show their chops in an old-fashioned tag team contest.

Feeling left out, the Dudleys came down to toss Edge through a table, but before that, the quartet were putting on a great match.

3 The Vamps Vs. The Hardys And Michael Hayes - Sunday Night Heat 6/13/1999

Early on in both teams’ careers, they weren’t alone. Edge and Christian were members of the Brood. The Hardys had been being guided by the Freebird himself, Michael P.S. Hayes.

No longer enhancement talents, the Hardys and Hayes took on the Brood in a six-man elimination match on Heat. The match was a briskly paced one, highlighting the best each team had to offer at that time in history.

2 Plus The Power Trip And The Brothers Of Destruction - Raw 04/23/2001

One of the ways Stone Cold worked to get heel heat in the wake of WrestleMania X7 was to decimate Lita with a steel chair. Several weeks later, The Power Trip, along with Edge and Christian did battler with the Hardys and the Brothers Of Destruction in a raucous Raw main event.

The Raw main event heading into 2001’s Backlash was everything an Attitude fan could want - a fast-paced, hard-hitting action from eight of the top stars of the era, complete with JR losing his mind and his voice calling the action.

1 TLC II - WrestleMania X7

The four superstars were always willing to put their bodies on the line, no matter the match. Toss in the Dudleys and WrestleMania for good measure and you have one of the greatest matches in ‘Mania history.

After the triangle ladder match a year earlier and the first-ever TLC match at SummerSlam, these guys knew they had to bring out the best in each other and then some. If you’ve only seen the grand highlight of Edge spearing Jeff Hardy in mid-air, then you owe it to yourself to watch this match immediately and then watch it again, immediately after that.
