10 World Champions The Rock Wrestled Once

6. Edge

The Rock V Edge

The Rock and Edge shared the ring on many occasions, even teaming together at one point to vanquish Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero. They only went one-on-one on WWE TV once however, on the same episode of RAW that saw Mideon claim the European Championship and Headbanger Mosh give up on the Beaver Cleavage gimmick. The Attitude Era, ladies and gentlemen!

The Rock was a mega babyface at the time, and Edge was a mid-ranking member of the roster, so anyone expecting a long, competitive bout here was clearly going to be disappointed. Rocky picked up the win in a one-sided four minute match, hitting the Rock Bottom and the People's Elbow for the 1-2-3. Still, Edge bumped like a champion, so there is that.

This 1999 match would end up being the only singles bout the two would have on WWE TV. You would have gotten extremely long odds on Edge beating The Rock into the WWE Hall of Fame at this point...
