Whilst Christian's journey through the murky worst of Vince McMahon's mindset wasn't always the smoothest, Edge seemed rarely without a title from the point the pair first sealed tag team gold at WrestleMania 16. He'd already snatched a brief Intercontinental Title run in 1999, and had gobbled up Intercontinental, United States Title wins by the time he was back winning doubles prizes with both Hulk Hogan and Rey Mysterio in 2002.

The first winner of Money In The Bank in 2005, Edge clutched the briefcase tightly for nine months before handing it over to Vince McMahon for the famous first flash of the stipulation's inherent brilliance. Crushing an already-decimated John Cena, Edge won his first of 11 World/WWE Titles over a five year period. Winning and losing his first two titles from and to John Cena capped off a rivalry that year that would be the making of both men as major main event stars.

The steadiest hand on an ever-ramshackle mid-2000s SmackDown, Edge was entrusted alongside The Undertaker and Batista to anchor the blue brand alongside various special guest headliners that would dip in and out during injuries sustained by the hard-working trio.
