Matt Hardy & Khali w/Maria vs The Hart Dynasty

It’s nice to know that all Matt needed was a holiday created by corporate propoganda for him to “move on.” Of course Hallmark is the answer after someone who says that they love you sleeps around with people you think are your friends, she sleeps with countless others and starts treating you like garbage out of nowhere, making your whole relationship a joke from the very beginning. Love is a horrible experience and rarely ends well in WWE. At least they get that right.
