I have three things to add on this.
One is that after the Matt Hardy situation, Edge said he went from pretty much a popular guy to persona non grata. It's entirely possible that he never forgave many people for their attitude towards him (rightly or wrongly).
Two is that he managed to work with Matt Hardy without deliberately injuring him at any point, which says 'professional' to me at any rate.
Three is that Mick Foley observed in The Hardcore Diaries that there is a difference between work friends and actual friends, and that he had precious few actual friends in the wrestling business or even in showbiz as a whole, because it's hard to call someone like that an actual friend.

His co-workers were all a bunch of failure turtles.

From the comments he made about Cena in Jericho's podcast it seems like he wasn't too fond of him.

A lot of wrestlers can relate to the last point, with very few of them keeping in touch once they leave the business, entirely or partially.

I'll never understand why things like this are such a huge deal for people. Wrestlers are real people just like the rest of us, we all have people we live and work, heck, even socialise alongside that we detest but just let it slide without it being some huge deal because life has enough drama so there's no need to manufacture more. Nobody likes everyone, everyone in wrestling has someone they just can't be around unless they really have to be, it only becomes a problem when you have agitators in the background poking the waspnest to try and increase the animosity because they feel they can make money from doing so or manipulate the parties involved, see Vince with Bret and Shawn.

Brodus Clay said Edge didn't like him. Given when Edge worked with him, in his post-NXT/Pre-Funking up phase, where he was plodding and borderline dangerous in the ring as well as Edge's neck problems....I'd not be a fan of working with him either. Brodus was one of the last people Edge worked with before Del Rio at WM 28, there's a clip of Edge spearing Brodus on the outside of the ring and Edge holding his neck afterwards, I'm sure you will find comments saying BRODUS ENDED EDGE'S CAREER!!!11. Really Brodus Clay's job at that time was just to be a giant target, it's not like he did a botched German suplex on Edge or something.

To be fair, Edge has said that when Brodus hit him in the back with a chair on Smackdown, that was when he lost all feeling in his arms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPX6fo51b20

Shocking. I'm shocked some people don't like working with or some of their co workers. Still takes a lot of professionalism to protect a guy in the ring even if you hated them. New Jack laughs at this. Of course New Jack being who he is I could find him not liking a shit ton of people.

Feels like gossipy newz. Nearly everyone works with a person or people they hate or at least dislike.

Word is that backstage professional wrestling superstar Adam "Edge" Copeland once had a few grievances after working in a company for over a decade.
This proves he has heat with many of the boys backstage in 2014.

It's not a huge deal to me, but I do find it interesting. Let's be honest, this place is pretty much a sewing circle. It's gossip!

This is why Edge used to be so angry when he first came on the scene.

Edge obviously was/is good friends with Christian, and I know he got along well with Storm and Rhino since they had worked with him in his early days. I think Test fell in that group, too. Edge also got along well with Foley, enough to blatantly base a lot of his promo style on him. Seriously, though, he was often a participant in Foley's pranks. Didn't he also like or have a lot of positive things to say about Owen Hart?

From the comments he made about Cena in Jericho's podcast it seems like he wasn't too fond of him. He gave Cena a shoutout in his Hall of Fame speech and commented how they call each other "old shoe" because of how they just fit when they feuded together. Cena equally has called Edge "the Einstein of our business" and the like before now, they've always seemed pretty close to me.
