10 WWE Champions Who Forfeited Their Title Due To Injury

If Edge didn't believe in karma before injury curtailed his run as World Heavyweight Champion in 2007, then he probably did afterwards.

After all, he only got the title in the first place by ambushing Mr. Kennedy and stealing the Money in the Bank contract he won weeks earlier at WrestleMania (and Kennedy himself only relinquished his briefcase because of his own injury woes).

Edge cashed in on 'Taker after his grueling Steel Cage match with Batista - followed by a crippling beat-down from Mark Henry - but it was over no sooner than it began when he was struck down by a pectoral injury.

And who stepped into his shoes? The Great Khali, who won a battle royal on SmackDown in July - becoming, in the process, one of the least credible world champions in history.
