Some Of Edge’s Greatest Moments On SmackDown
#1 Tag Team Championship

#2 Money In The Bank
Did you know Edge was the first-ever holder of the infamous Money in the Bank briefcase? In one instance, he used his briefcase against an already weakened ‘Deadman’ The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Edge, being ‘The Ultimate Opportunist’, saw that the Phenom was in no condition to move, let alone wrestle, cashed in his Money in the Bank, and pinned the Undertaker after a gut-wrenching spear. The fans in the arena did not know what happened or how to react. Such was the aura of Edge in his performances.

Putting down the World Heavyweight Title in the ring, the Rated-R superstar said his last goodbyes and left the arena. The WWE universe was in stunned silence, some in tears while some in absolute disbelief, but who could blame them as at the moment, it seemed like their beloved superstar was leaving the wrestling world forever.
