10 WWE Superstars That Got Out At The Right Time
10. Edge & Christian
Though both were forced out of an industry they'd clearly and openly adored, Edge & Christian's injuries were well-earned in legacy and era-defining Tables, Ladders & Chairs bouts with The Dudley Boyz and Matt and Jeff Hardy.
It speaks to the brutal nature of those battles that the pair both had to part ways with the industry thanks to neck and head concerns. Edge being physically forced from the fray in 2011 was followed up by Christian's 2014 concussion-driven departure.
Their chemistry and propensity for entertaining outside of the ring gave them both avenues to continue performing as scaled back versions of their personas on podcasts and WWE Network projects, and the pair are a welcome presence whenever they're drafted in to d*ck about on Monday Night Raw.
Different to many of those that had their careers taken from them, neither Adam Copeland nor Jay Reso seem to resent not getting to go on their own terms. With legacies assured by magnificent bodies of work together and apart, the duo's wrestling-related fame was forever assured by their outstanding back catalogues.
