10 Times WWE Retconned EVERYTHING
10. Edge & Christian Are Brothers?
This is a pretty famous one.
Countless WWE fans probs thought they were going crazy when Edge and Christian suddenly started talking about their childhood friendship years after teaming up. Well erm... of course you were friends - you guys were brothers, no? No. The whole 'they're siblings' thing has been squashed flat over the years.
The problem? WWE clearly presented Edge and Christian as brothers onscreen from 1998 onwards. Christian's 2001 turn on Edge was said to be so dastardly because he was stabbing family in the back, for crying out loud. Then, maybe post-retirement for Edge, the pair suddenly became pals instead of blood relatives.
WWE's announcers ploughed forwards with the mates gig from that point on. Even Edge and Christian themselves openly discussed being pals as kids on TV, and it was like the brothers thing had never happened.
It didn't happen. You, dear reader, just made it up in your own mind. Ahem.
