Edge's 10 Greatest WWE Moments
6. Winning The First Money In The Bank Ladder Match
As was the case for his heel turn, Edge would have likely struggled to succeed on the level he did had it not been for his WrestleMania 21 Money in the Bank Ladder Match victory.
It's somewhat ironic considering Edge revealed he was against the idea of the match. Speaking with Chris Jericho on his podcast, Edge said he had initially told WWE management to exclude him from the MITB Ladder Match, only agreeing to be included after being convinced by fellow participants Jericho and Kane.
Although he made a very convincing heel in his own right, Edge required something unique to launch him into the main event picture. Becoming the first ever holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase was the perfect springboard.
Not only would Edge win the WWE Championship down the line, he would acquire Lita as his valet and partake in a stunning feud long before his first major championship reign.
