10 Awesome WWE Promos You Probably Don't Remember
10. We Were All Thinking It
Smackdown April 10th 2009
Is his long running grudge with Edge the best ongoing rivalry that John Cena’s ever had? Probably. Cena and Orton were never the nemeses for the ages that WWE thought they were, and Cena and CM Punk was just getting exciting when Punk retired from wrestling.
The Rated-R Superstar first got on Cena’s hit list when he cashed in the very first Money In The Bank briefcase on a shattered WWE Champion at New Year’s Revolution in 2006. Ever since then, their feud had a shoot vibe to it. Edge was so very good at displaying pure, animalistic emotion like hate and rage that it seemed as though he genuinely loathed Cena.
This amazing promo is a perfect showcase of that talent. It would end up being the final time Edge and Cena would have words together: it came in the same week that Cena had pinned the Big Show to win Edge’s World Heavyweight Championship in a triple threat match at WrestleMania XXV, and in anticipation of their rematch at Backlash.
At that event, Edge defeated Cena in a Last Man Standing match to regain the title after the Big Show interfered and threw Big Match John into a giant spotlight. The pair tangled less and less after that, and Edge was medically forced into retirement two years later.
