Two years after being booed as a babyface champion, Edge returned to the AirCanada Centre to be wildly cheered as a heel. This was peak Cena-hate time, and booking the guy in a main event TLC match against a home town champion all but guaranteed a flipping of the presumed alignments.

By 2006 the TLC formula was already somewhat overdone, so there wasn't going to be much here that hadn't been done before in a more thrilling fashion. The true novelty was in seeing Cena in such a match, and boy did he delivery. This was arguably his first great feud on top, and the two had a chemistry that Cena wouldn't find again until he faced CM Punk some five years later.

We all know how this match finished. After destroying a whole heap of furniture, Edge found himself in the unfortunate position of being on Cena's shoulders on top of a ladder. The only way to go was down, but luckily (unluckily) for the Rated-R Superstar there was a stack of tables to break his fall.

JR called it perfectly.
