It seems Christian was envious of the Hardy Brother’s success in their early WWE careers.
Matt Hardy revealed on the latest Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast that Christian Cage was one of the only people to give The Hardy Boyz any grief for being signed when they were and Matt Hardy says that Christian Cage even claims to have cheered when Jeff Hardy slipped and fell during matches.
“The only person that I can really think of that targeted us more than anybody else was Christian Cage,” he said. “There was a point where Jeff and I were wrestling Furnas and LaFon and Jeff went for a springboard moonsault, and he slips off the top rope and he crashes on the floor. We had to change the whole match around from there because that ended up being the start of the heat. We had a somewhat competitive match with these guys. But Christian, he had heard that we had been signed and we’re going to be you know, employees of WWE and he’d been working to have a contract for so long. When ever Jeff slipped off the top rope, he said he cheered in his house because he was so mad that we got contracts, and he did. He cheered for Jeff’s Jeff’s destruction, which is a funny story that we still share all the time now, and eventually, he got signed and we all ended up being okay. We ended up being best frenemies, but that’s a very funny but true story. He was very envious of Jeff and I when we first signed and he cheered when Jeff slipped off the top rope from a moonsault body block to the floor.”

It appears Christian was bitter about the WWE signing The Hardy’s. Matt Hardy and Christian had a segment on this past week’s Dynamite together, and it appears the two will have a short feud as Christian dragged Jeff Hardy’s problems as of late on the show.
