Tell me what the why was with two of
you.

That's a great question. The why for
Edge and John Cena.

For me, it was just, why am I doing
this?

Because I'm good, and I'm going to prove
to you guys how good I am.

John Cena was like the modern -day Hulk
Hogan.

You want some?

Come get some!

Good job.

Hogan had Roddy Piper, who was one of
the most glorious bad guys.

And Edge was a guy willing to go to any
length to get people to hate him. We got

put against each other at the right time
for both of our characters.

He needed that villain.

And I was fully committed to being that
villain.

When it comes to do or die situations,

I thrive.

To me, that's what John Cena needed.

He needed that landmark opponent to put
him on the map. How do you think I got

that money in the bank in the first
place?

There is sex.

There is violence.

There is excitement.

This is about to tap.

Oh, my God.

What's not to love about this rivalry?

The champ is here.

This rivalry.

When two legends collide, their rivalry
stays pinned in our minds forever.

This is where we break down the
legendary stories behind the greatest

of all time.

I'm Freddie Prinze Jr., and this is WWE
Rivals.

It's early 2000s, 2005, 2006, and we're
talking John Cena and someone's

favorite wrestler.

At this point in both men's careers,
these two guys needed each other to make

each other. They both were in a position
to be the man, but you have to have

that perfect foil.

John was definitely the baby face.

Adam was definitely the heel.

Certainly. These two guys defined those
two roles to a T and then

produced.

We were both of a similar mindset to
make each other.

When you get two guys with the same
mentality and the same mindset, you can

magic out there.

You can go all the way back to Edge's
debut.

Edge came in with a group of talent,
brought them into Connecticut for a

took a look at who may have potential.

Edge was one of those talent that we
looked at and said, you've got it, not

what it was, and brought him in
originally as Edge, kind of a dark.

loner, brooding kind of character.

I loved how he turned that into what

he did with Edge and Christian.

And especially leaning into their sense
of humor.

For the next five seconds, we will very
generously pose for all of you with the

benefit of flash photography.

He didn't take himself too serious, but
he was serious when he needed to be. And

that sort of fun creativity is in his
DNA.

I know I'm not the money in the world.
We're putting your bodies through this.

I think Adam had built a reputation up
to this point for being involved in

highly dangerous matches, going through
multiple tables, falling off ladders,

spearing Jeff Hardy. Almost all of his
highlight reel moments involved some

of human body car crash.

As a tag team, without a doubt, Edge and
Christian were one of the greatest tag

teams in the history of the industry.
But I think that Edge was still looking

break through and be that single
superstar.

First time I met John, he was still
doing the different colored tights for

hometown, you know, team kind of thing.
So if we're in Minnesota, he's wearing

purple and yellow.

I didn't really think much.

past that initially.

You didn't see the humor in John Cena.

You didn't see the quick wit.

You didn't see how smart he really was.

You saw a big jock.

John Cena burst on the scene and
immediately had energy.

Ruthless aggression!

That worked for a little bit, but not
very long, and the Doctor of Thuganomics

was born.

I know you're listening, so I'm about to
drop a heavyweight dose of Thuganomics

on ya. While it may have been a hokey
version of who he was, it really was

in his personality.

You can't see me.

I've been lucky enough to, like, take
one thing at a time.

Get yourself as presentable as you can.

Learn to perform. Be comfortable in
talking.

It all comes with failure.

I just wanted to be the best me I could
be.

After about a year, there was something
about John that you saw in

his eye that made John stand out from
everyone else.

The character kind of kept evolving from
being this sort of funny guy to a more

serious and relatable hero.

A guy who did everything the right way.

Hustle.

loyalty, and respect.

These are three virtues no one can have
a problem with.

I've seen it by that point, and you
could tell like he was finding a groove.

I felt like I was treading water.

It took me a while to really kind of
sort through where I was at and

how to get where I wanted to go.

I've been here for a long time, paid a
lot of dues, and I'm about due.

I'm a ten -time tag team champion, U .S.
champion, king of the ring, five -time

intercontinental champion.

Then it became this frustrated, angry,
paranoid, delusional

character. I have waited my entire
career for a championship match.

And the fact that I haven't had one is a
crime.

Everything about the World Heavyweight
Championship, that's all that mattered

this character.

WrestleMania 21.

Los Angeles, California.

Big time.

And it was a big time night for two
future Hall of Famers.

JBL versus John Cena.

WWE Championship on the line.

I got to work with John when he got his
first run into, say, 30 -minute matches,

which is...

A big difference. Anybody can do an
eight -minute match. Doing a 30 -minute

match is the deep water. That's where a
lot of guys never make that transition.

Vince McMahon came up to me one time. He
goes, how is John? I said, he's your

guy. And Vince was very pleased. He
said, really? I said, yeah. You could

right away. Once a guy got in the deep
water like that, he not only swam, he

thrived. And you could tell from that
point forward, he had a feel that was

God -given to wrestling.

Where did Cena get this from?

Here he comes! He's got him!

One, two, three!

Here's the champion!

Winning the first WWE Championship at
WrestleMania 21, I still couldn't

how crazy it was.

There was just a few folks that thought
I was alright and promised myself I

would respect that and give it the best
shot I had.

Still at that point, that was way far
away from me hitting stride.

I think Cena needed Edge.

He's the guy, but he needs that foil.

And I think Edge was the perfect guy.

An 11 -time tag champion, a WWE record,
but he's obsessed with becoming the

world heavyweight champion. And he sees
this ladder match as his opportunity to

do that.

WrestleMania 21, it's pretty pivotal
looking back.

You know, it was a real changing of the
guard. I mean, it started before then,

but it was solidified at WrestleMania
21.

Only one way to win, that's to climb the
ladder, retrieve the briefcase, and you

have won yourself a world title match
for any time up to one year.

Edge has won the match.

You have Edge winning the Money in the
Bank briefcase, which gave him a

championship opportunity whenever he
wanted. It gave him and his character a

whole different sort of motivation.

And when he was walking around with Lita
and that briefcase, he was a dangerous

man. Oh, look at this pair.

Edge and Lita.

She's a home record. You can take that
to the bank. And apparently that's

exactly what Mr. Money in the Bank has
done.

We started to blur the lines of reality
and storyline.

I was involved with Edge personally, and
they decided to bring it in front of

the cameras.

These two got a hell of a lot of
explaining to do.

To me, Lita made the rated R superstar.

No man that I've ever been with could
have satisfied me.

Except one.

The next world heavyweight champion.

Lita completed Edge.

Now everybody in the audience had a
reason to hate Edge.

Edge and Lita were just fantastic
together.

Not only is that contract money in the
bank, but I am money in

the bank.

Edge had the Money in the Bank briefcase
for so long that it became the boy who

cried wolf. You just figured they're not
going to go anywhere with it.

He made you wait and wait and wait and
wait.

John Cena with everything he's got.

If we're going to cash this thing in.

Edge can't do this in a straight -up
match. It's got to be in an instance

your champion is down and out.

He got him! He got him! He got him! Here
is your winner, John

Cena!

Nobody goes anywhere. This night is not
over. Raise the cage.

John Cena, prone, bloody, beaten,
battered, but victorious.

is sitting there in the ring after his
match, and here

comes Edge's music, and a rivalry

is born.

Edge is casting in, and casting it in
big time.

Cashing in, and cashing it in big time
when John Cena is at his weakest.

Because of the way it was done, because
I'm exhausted and just barely won the

Elimination Chamber, it also doesn't
seem fair.

He can cash in his championship match
any time, any place, and what better

and place than after the Elimination
Chamber? And that's what made the Money

the Bank so powerful.

Although it's a legitimate match, the
person holding the briefcase can really

opportunistic when they choose to have
that match. And all that foundation was

laid that night.

Turn around, it's over. Edge is just
waiting on him. He has the spin. He has

spin. He's got to be mad.

He got it.

Edge is the new WWE champion.

Cena has his match.

Edge gets to cash in.

and be evil in this moment on a weakened
and tired John Cena who just went

through the ringer.

And now Edge beats him, and we're off to
the races.

It's one of the most unforgettable
moments that I ever witnessed because

this worker's worker in Edge who's had
the tag success, who's also had a couple

start stops as a single, and to be able
to be the one in that moment, the play,

and the player doing it, anyone who
doubted it couldn't doubt it anymore,

couldn't doubt Edge anymore.

Cashing in the money in the bank felt
like a vindication, like I knew I could

get here.

All of those days of dreaming, it all
kind of flashes by, and then you come

of rocketing into this present. You're
staring at this thing, and then I just

started headbutting it. That was my
first inclination.

Ed had shocked the world!

Well, I'll tell you what he's done.

He's stolen the damn title!

That money in the bank was going to be a
catalyst for like a new direction for

his career entirely.

And when we talked about it, you know,
he said that you could just feel the

lightning in the bottle. And this was
the moment for him to solidify that he

going to be a top player. And he wasn't
going to let anybody's decision making

or anybody else deny him that. He made
himself undeniable.

I understand that some people are
calling me a cheap champion.

I stand before you, your new WWE
champion.

Edge really thought once he cashed in
and was the champion that we're going to

have a run together, you know, and
really do this. And we both felt ready.

like, we can do this. We're going to
carry it. It's time.

For the 19th consecutive year, the road
to WrestleMania begins at the Royal

Rumble.

The following contest is scheduled for
one fall, and it is for the WWE

Championship. There was no one more
deserving of being elevated into the

position of being a WrestleMania main
eventer more than Edge, with one

exception.

That had to burn Edge's ass.

I think Adam and Edge were both thinking
the same thing at this point. We were

both pissed off.

The champ is John Cena, and the champ is
here!

I feel bad that Adam felt that way, but
it's also good because it pushed him to

do more.

I wanted to change the plans, because we
got something here. Like, the people

are into this.

I knew we're going to have no choice but
to come back to it.

And I'm personally going to give them no
choice.

It is now time for John Cena to defend
the WWE Championship in front of perhaps

the most hostile crowd that any
superstar has ever shown.

ECW, the famed Philadelphia wrestling
organization, had been reborn under WWE.

So because the fan base was so into
hardcore wrestling, The ECW fan base,

needed no one more than John Cena.

The level of commitment to sit through
those boos and maintain that babyface

persona every day, forever.

The level of commitment to that
character was bulletproof.

And no one in the arena sat down.

Whether you cheered him or booed him,
everybody in the arena was standing up

when John Cena walked out.

John Cena has a match against... Rob Van
Dam, an absolute darling to the ECW

fans. So they already hate John Cena.

Weighing in at 240 pounds, from West
Newbury, Massachusetts,

WWE Champion, John Cena!

Anytime you can get such emotion out of
an audience.

Sounds like it would be a hospital
environment.

I don't know if it would be this bad.

I could have had a 25 -minute contest
with my t -shirt, and that would have

amazing. Taz, have you ever seen
anything like this? It doesn't belong

The ECW crowd found John Cena to be the
embodiment of everything WWE.

John Cena was not extreme.

I'll tell you what, this audience...
Hold on, hold on! Cover Queen of the

1K only!

Then,

all of a sudden, after a few months of
not seeing these guys involved with each

other, Edge shows up out of nowhere.

Spears, John Cena.

Rob Van Dam wins the

title.

Mayhem. Rob Van Dam is the champion.

Now you know we are back to John Cena
and Edge.

Are you ready? Hold on to your seats
because we are live tonight on Raw.

It's going to be Cena, Van Dam, and Edge
for the WWE title.

This is huge, JR.

What I was excited about was I knew I
would have substance with Adam.

Here, I know I bring a certain something
to the table.

He brings a certain something to the
table. If we can parlay this into more

just a one -night involvement, I think
it would be good for the both of us.

Edge was ready to be the

top star in WWE.

He's young, smart, he's capable.

Edge is a WWE champion.

Now you know we're going to have the
beloved John Cena chasing the dastardly

Edge for the world championship.

Cena had the match won, but Edge used
the WWE championship to snatch the

Edge was certainly a great heel.

And very few guys want to really be a
heel.

Let's not forget one other person. You.

You went to Vince and said, basically, I
don't want them to be able to walk up

to the merchandise stand and buy a JBL
shirt because I don't want their

You know, if some kid is a hardcore fan
and he's sitting on the front row and he

had a JBL shirt on, then somebody in
that audience is going to look around

go, well, he's got one fan. He must not
be too bad a guy. I don't want anybody

to think I was a decent guy.

I didn't sign autographs walking into
arenas.

Edge was the same way.

There's great longevity in that, because
with that commitment, then I'm going to

pay to see you get beat again and again
and again, and you become a mainstay of

the show.

What's great about Adam is he was a bad
guy.

He played his part masterfully. Welcome
to West Newberry, Massachusetts.

the home of the former WWE champion John
Cena.

You see, me and my lovely lady Lita, we
came up here to see what makes John Cena

tick. And we know exactly where we have
to go to do it.

Always when you're trying to heat up the
intensity of a rivalry, you bring in

the family, right? Like, that's the
easiest way to get you where it counts.

What are you doing here? Mr. Cena!

John Cena's father.

Right. I was contacted by WWE to say
that they were going to be coming

West Newbury.

They knock at the door.

They introduce themselves.

And I said, okay, what are we going to
do now?

Get out of my house! Both of you, now! I
don't remember inviting either one of

you. I'm calling the police. Leave now!

Now, I said. Hey!

You can't go up there. Stop.

We were trying to be more organic with
it, but he was really performing.

He really got a kick out of performing
that day. So, I mean, it was, it was, it

was hilarious.

You know what?

Did you have a nice visit? One, you had
a real good visit. You had a good time,

right? Two, take the lady, leave. One of
the greatest moments of WWE TV ever.

Love you, Dad. But, man,

I learned a lot from you.

What to do and what not to do.

You know what? I've had enough of both
of you. I'm calling the police. I'm

of both of you. Hold on a second. Hold
on.

So he walks away, turns around.

It was so quick.

Bye.

It can only be about the championship
for so long.

You have to add in layers.

So how do you add in those layers? Well,
you go and slap somebody's dad.

That's a layer.

It's very fitting. One Cena goes down
today. The other goes down in six days

SummerSlam.

You see, I told John's dad that I was
going to beat him to within an inch of

life at SummerSlam.

And there's not a damn thing that him,
John, any of you people.

or anybody in Boston can do about it.

I want to see Edge get beat up because
if he did that to my dad, I would go out

there and I would fight him because my
dad would have done the same thing for

back in the day.

The following contest is scheduled for
one fall, and it is for the WWE

Championship.

If the champion Edge gets disqualified,
he will lose the WWE Championship.

Because it was John's homecoming, every
fan that was there expected John Cena to

take the title.

Boston, Massachusetts, why not?

He's the hometown man.

When I was there, people would talk to
me, and they'd go, what do you think the

Suns' chances are?

I said...

I don't know.

I said, I'm hoping it's John Cena. But
you can't rule out that devious Snake

Edge. He's always got an ace.

And Cena, I think, is trying as hard as
he can to keep his cool.

WWE title on the line. And now Cena
forcing Edge back into the corner.

We have the chemistry.

The characters were so diametrically
opposed.

When you get to that point with a
rivalry, and you can keep going back to

keep going back to it, and the audience
is into it too, that's a huge

compliment.

The WWE Champion Edge in control.

Cena, literally in his hometown here in
Boston.

The atmosphere here is electric. This
place is buzzing.

I don't ever give up.

It's going to be tough to beat me
because you can hit me with your best

It's going to take a lot to keep my
shoulders down for three seconds.

Edge and Lita, arguably the most
powerful couple in the WWE.

When I think of the radar superstars,
it's not just Edge, it's Edge and Lita.

We had amazing chemistry.

So Edge Cena works, but it works not
much better because Lita's out there

Edge, a step up!

and knock Lita!

A roll -up! A roll -up! Yes!

No!

We had shown that, like, I have no
boundaries and how evil I would be and

much I would step into the match.

And just pleading with Lita! Lita didn't
know what to do!

And she's about to tap!

Oh, my God!

Lita helped not only by being a great
performer, but she was instrumental in,

like, stacking the odds.

There was no looking for cheers on the
side of Edge. He was willing to go as

as it took.

I think you can't understate who Lita's
role in all of this and how Adam would

use Lita in particular situations and
how well she played the role.

Look at Lita. She's starting to get
nervous. She's starting to pace.

It is not easy to stand in the middle of
the ring and have, you know, bottles

slung at you and people calling you
every single name under the sun,

as a female.

And rather than shying away from that,
she leaned into it. So, like, there were

these moments that she was such an
integral part of. It's just two guys

without leading.

Rep, check him! Check him! I'm not, I'm
not.

And Lena's in!

Oh, my God!

My God!

Edge is so cool in what he does.

Cena turns around and it's like, bam!

Big brass nuts in the back of my head.

Then I can't see this knocked out.

Cena's knocked out.

By the damn brass nuts.

Come on, ref!

Son of a...

Everybody, including myself, was like,
wow, what an ending, what a finish.

That's the way it goes down with a true
villain.

We both grew.

I think we both grew as performers
together and understood what we both

to do to get to the next level, which
was awesome, because we're doing it

together and we're learning it together.

Since I've erased John Cena from my life
forever,

I think we should remove the last
remnants of John Cena.

With a beautiful burial at sea.

Did you say burial at sea?

Oh, wait a minute. What? Oh, my God.

Oh, there it goes.

Goodbye. Sayonara.

Through it all, he kept doing nefarious
things.

Edge crashing my house, winning the
championship in the Long Island Sound.

All of those things add to why I want to
root for this person. And I think

that's why we worked so well and for so
long together.

I love

going

out of the confines of the arena. I love
it.

The Long Island sounds like the most
polluted body of water in the United

States.

And that didn't fully dawn on me until
like the scuba divers were pulling me

and they're fully covered and I'm in
tight.

And that week, I was not feeling that
great after that.

But we're outside of the arena, and now
we're doing stuff that I know kids,

people are going to be talking about.
You just threw me along on the sound.

Those are things to me that wrestling
can do that other industries

don't have at their fingertips.

I just need one thing from you, and
that's one more match.

You had Edge and Cena who had very
common goals, and that goal was to be

best. That goal was to be the main event
and be the reason that people were

tuning into television and the reason
that people were enjoying pay -per

Look out!

It's going to be unforgiven in my
hometown, Toronto, Canada.

Oh, my gosh.

His body just breaking in half.

And I've decided what match it's going
to be.

A match you've never had.

A match I've never lost.

It's going to be tables, ladders, and
chairs.

We welcome you ladies and gentlemen live
to Toronto, Canada for the ninth annual

extravaganza known as Unforgiven.

Unforgiven 2006, the story between Edge
and John Cena has heated up. It's gotten

nuclear at this point. Edge has proven
he can get that title and he can hold

They were a hell of a crowd.

They were fully invested in this thing,
man, and it felt so good.

Come out, your hometown main event.

You're the WWE champion. You're going up
against this generation's hero, and you

want to live up to that.

I love getting in environments where we
are trying to tell a story as a company,

and you know they ain't going to take
any of it.

Man, they hated me.

It was great.

I'm yelling at Edge, take this in.

All of it.

I'm the Yankees in Fenway. I'm the
Lakers at the Garden.

Let's do that. And that's okay.

Let's give it to them.

So these men have been going at it for a
while now.

But this is a physical contest.

That pressure has to be times ten.

Tables, ladders, and chairs are about to
come into play. There's going to be a

lot of pain dealt out.

No pinfalls, no submissions, no
disqualifications, no count -out. In a

match, only one way to win.

Find the ladder, retrieve the title
belt, which is hanging high above the

A TLC match.

Tables, ladders, and chairs. Anything
goes at Unforgiven.

It's also an opportunity for John Cena
to prove to fans that he's not just the

happy -go -lucky champion.

He's also capable of getting down and
dirty with the dirtiest man in the biz

the time, Edge.

We've seen a lot of different strategies
utilized in these matches by Edge.

There's a lot of things that make a TLC
match pivotal.

And because I'm one of the inventors of
the TLC match, there's pressure that

comes with that.

You've got to be good at this thing if
you help create it.

You knew that Edge was not going to wait
long in introducing the hardware that

this match is all about. Care legal.

So there's a different layer of
storytelling involved.

Oh, God!

And with that is a challenge.

John had never been in one.

John's afraid of heights.

Remember, the WWE Championship is
hanging high above the ring.

So I have a fear of heights.

But I only did what I knew I could do.

I look at it as an artist. I do.

It's this thing that has energy.

Please just let me paint. Just let me
paint a little bit.

You know, and I'm out there and I'm
feeling the boys. I didn't want Adam to

paint. This whole environment is about
taking chances.

I want him to be able to paint whatever
he wanted.

You got two guys in there.

A lot of intensity.

trying to bring something to that
audience.

And in doing that, sometimes, you know,
there's things that can happen, right?

So let's have me trapped in the ladder.

Well,

that extra distance because of the
ladder and John's meaty wrists just

right there.

And I remember thinking to myself,

This feels interesting.

Huh. And then believing I was in my bed
and there was an alarm going off

and thinking I was late for my Air
Canada flight when it was actually me

the buzzer sound like this weird and
then coming to and seeing the Air Canada

Center logo above me.

John had no idea. He ran at me.

Cream me in the face with a ladder. I
got a hand up. I don't remember doing

of it.

It's strange being choked out. I
wouldn't advise it.

Mancini's on a mean streak here.

I never knew that Adam was in any sort
of jeopardy and that he passed out.

This to me has always been the most wild
part about wrestling as an art form

because these things happen.

And the show must go on.

I don't know how you all pull this off.
I take two weeks off if I step on a Lego

in my house that my kids left on the
floor.

That's a serious injury. I appreciate
that. Only a mother would give me that

love. Thank you.

But to me, that's always been one of the
craziest things about this rivalry.

There is no take two.

You talked about a brutal match.

I've never seen two guys go at it like
they did.

John Cena realizes that this, a table,
ladder.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,

a minute. John Cena behind the scenes is
afraid of heights, but John Cena inside

the ring is afraid of nothing.

That's the mark of a great performer.

When he's out there, he's not John Cena
human being.

He's John Cena superhero.

It's tough because you worry, you know,
and so it's a weird thing when you're in

my position to be in those high stakes
matches because the real person that

cares about the people in the ring is
just like just below the surface.

I don't worry about this moment.

As superstars, we are as plugged in as
the audience is. Somehow John Cena is

willing himself.

I learned that from the late Eddie
Guerrero.

Give him your.

F 'n best.

Every night.

And if you do Jeff good enough, he'll
bring back a friend.

What the hell is John Cena thinking
about? We just had fun out there

We trusted each other, and we both knew
that we wanted the match and the story

to be great.

Cena climbing to the top.

We threw everything we had at each
other, and me surviving those attacks is

never giving up. That's my thing.

But wait a minute, there's a WWE
champion, Edge. Edge, with his strength

perseverance, leads me to believe that,
like, I'm going to have to do something

crazy to stop this guy. And then when
you see what crazy is, you're like, I

don't want to do this.

These guys are about to go toe -to -toe
at the top of this ladder.

John wasn't real big on doing it, but I
had faith in him.

This was the end of the story. We've got
to blow the doors off here.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

John, don't do this, John!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

16 -foot ladder.

This is death to find.

Career ending.

Oh, my God!

John, don't do this, John!

The God Almighty!

the two tables from a 16 -foot ladder.

The attitude adjustment through two
tables, his idea again, brilliant and

insane. That audience helped make that
moment of like, I don't want to do this,

but I can't stop this guy.

I just remember hearing the audience and
it was this weird

sensory overload moment like that. I was
feeling all of it.

And landing in our house.

We did it.

We did it.

John Cena!

John Cena has won!

He's won!

The sense of relief that you have when
you pull off something like that

and pull off what I felt was a fitting
end to

that part of the story. John Cena coming
into as hostile.

an environment as anybody I could ever
recall came and leaving with the most

coveted prize in sports entertainment.

John Cena earned the WWE championship
here tonight.

There's his father, a man that was
physically assaulted by Edge and Cena's

home.

Here he is all sweaty, all gashed up. He
has the belt.

And he just kind of grabbed me and gave
me a big hug and said, I can't tell you

how much I love you.

I said, I love you too, kid.

He did one hell of a job.

And we just kind of stood there.

That's a way for me to tell my dad I
love him.

To have a child, now a grown man, who
just got beat up and bloodied.

Come out and embrace a father and say,
Pops, I love you.

Wow.

That just got me right there.

It was the end of a great rivalry.

Walking out after that match.

Toronto way of saying.

You did it.

I'm so glad he enjoyed it because I'd
like to think that's maybe kind of where

helped him a little bit. You enjoying
this here and now, it doesn't turn me

It doesn't turn him good.

So many performers ignore the biggest
superstar we got and that's the people

come in and go crazy.

I'm so, so glad he felt that.

Can't rob yourself of that.

We knew that he was going to be the guy.
Nobody dreamed he'd be a 16 -time world

champion, a movie star, and all this
different stuff.

But to see that, and to also see Ed, and
to see these guys go out and carry that

company for that time, it was just
absolutely incredible. And I saw these

journey, and now they're the ones in the
sun. It's a pride beyond belief.

All of us, I'm sure, can look back on
our careers and remember an opponent

was super special, and you felt that
magic, and you think, like, How great

it be to feel that one more time? I can
tell you this with 100 % confidence that

Adam would love to do that again with
John.

John Cena would never have achieved the
heights that he achieved in WWE without

the rivalry with Edge and Lita.

It cemented John Cena as the top
attraction in WWE.

And the same goes for Edge.

They complimented each other.

They were the classic case of a rivalry,
taking a top star and a top star and

making them both the top stars.

When you have that kind of chemistry and
dynamic, I mean, we call each other

shoe because it's like putting on an old
shoe.

You fit as comfortable as an old broken
-in shoe.

And no matter how many days you have
those shoes in your mudroom, when you

to put them on, they feel perfect and
broken in and beautiful.

I don't think Cena and Edge get to where
they got without each other.

That kind of says, okay, those guys are
each other's greatest rivals.

You put him and I in the ring today, I
know what it's going to be.

It's going to be...

Great.
