According to reports, both Matt Hardy and Edge only talk when they need to discuss a match or segment. Otherwise, they keep their distance backstage. On the other hand, Hardy and Lita have reportedly had their good days and bad days since Matt returned in terms of getting along. Lita has continued to travel alone and has made it clear to close friends that she is not comfortable with any aspect of this current storyline. Other reports have stated that she doesn't like "rubbing it in" to Matt on the air, but understands she has a job to do and must be convincing in doing so.

On a related note, Matt Hardy is continuing to be optimistic regarding his current push in the company since his return. Despite some recent losses on RAW that quite frankly didn't make sense from a booking standpoint, Hardy still feels things will turn out okay. He is also said to be under the impression that he will be winning the Steel Cage Match against Edge at Unforgiven this Sunday on PPV.

Dusty Rhodes has been spotted at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT on a regular basis in the last two weeks. Rhodes officially started at the offices on September 7th and has been visible around the building. Says one WWE employee, "He is following dress code. Business standard." That means no cowboy hats...or even polka dots.
