Edge and Christian hosted the first SmackDown of the New Year and didn't allow J & J Security to push them around. They
asserted their position for the evening and made matches pitting Ryback against the Big Show and Rusev vs Roman Reigns. E & C were contemplating doing a
five second pose backstage, only to get interrupted by Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury again. At the end of the night, J & J Security took away Edge and Christian's
props in the back and basically shooed them away as they set up a poster of the Muscle and Fitness magazine cover with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H on it. E & C's
response and final act was to graffiti on it.
RAW - December 29, 2014
Edge and Christian were the special guests and in charge on RAW and promised that the show would "totally reek of
awesomeness." They were interrupted while about to do a five second pose by WWE World champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, approached in the back by
The Miz and Damien Mizdow, who demanded a rematch against the Usos, to whom they lost the tag team titles earlier and hosted the first ever Cutting Edge
Peep Show with Seth Rollins as their guest. Things got ugly when Rollins revealed he had plotted a scheme to blackmail John Cena into bringing back The
Authority as he whacked Christian with his Money in the Bank briefcase and threatened to paralyze Edge with a curbstomp as the Big Show held him down.

the industry.
SmackDown - September 16, 2011
On SmackDown, Edge returned as the show was in his hometown of Toronto to be the night's special guest. He addressed the crowd about how he missed being on WWE TV and
all of the fans. Cody Rhodes interrupted and handed Edge a paper bag to keep on his mantle. The Rated R Superstar insulted him and declined, then left. Later, backstage, Trish Stratus showed Edge a pair of
yoga gloves when they were encountered by Christian, who "forgave" Edge for making him lose the World title to Randy Orton at SummerSlam. Christian tried to get Edge to "make it up to him" by convincing
Teddy Long he deserved one more shot at the gold. Edge refused and said Christian was starting to sound like a little bitch. Later still, The Cutting Edge saw Randy Orton and Mark Henry as guests, with a
no contact clause instituted. Edge pulled no punches, as promised, and asked Mark how it felt to be in the company 15 years with no title. Things were about to get heated after awhile, which prompted Edge
to announce the show was over and exit the ring. A brawl then ensued between the two guests.
SummerSlam - August 14, 2011
At SummerSlam, Edge appeared to not stand in Christian's corner during his World title defense against Randy Orton but to give him some friendly advice. The Rated R Superstar told Christian he needed to hear it from him and that he had become a disgrace to himself because of his whining and the way he won the gold for his second reign. Edge pointed out that he was better than that and assured Christian that he would be his best friend forever, no matter what. After his speech, he left the ring, leaving Christian to go it alone in the match.
Extreme Rules - May 1, 2011
At Extreme Rules, Edge made a surprise appearance, first showing up in a camouflage jeep to distract Alberto Del Rio as he was climbing a ladder to grab the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio was thwarted long enough that Christian was able to shove him over and to the arena floor, then climb up to get the gold himself. Edge ran to the ring to cheer on his lifelong best friend, who finally captured his first major title in the WWE in 13 years of employment. Edge entered the ring and happily embraced Christian, holding his hand up in sweet victory.
SmackDown - April 22, 2011
On SmackDown, Edge appeared to offer his thoughts and feelings on the "retirement party" Alberto Del Rio decided to throw for him. Alberto had a grandfather clock, Depends adult diapers, a walker
and the love of Edge's life, Lita - in the form of a very obese woman - as "gifts" for the Rated R Superstar. Ricard Rodriguez also rolled out on a scooter to Edge's theme music and mocked his entrance. Edge called the party brutal,
and Alberto ordered Brodus Clay to get him, but Christian appeared out of nowhere to take him out with a ladder. Christian then got Del Rio as well and climbed a ladder to retrieve the World Championship belt, which was hanging high
above the ring. Edge stood by and watched, looking pleased as he applauded his lifelong best friend.

in an emotional farewell.
RAW - April 11, 2011
On RAW, Edge came out to make a shocking and sad announcement - that he had recently visited a doctor after experiencing loss of sensation in his arms and that he'd been told he could no longer wrestle and had to retire. This was not only a shock to us fans but to Edge himself, and it was extremely emotional as he recalled fond memories of his 13 years in the WWE. He mentioned debuting and working with his lifelong best friend Christian, winning his first WWE championship and ending up an 11-time champion, having a live sex show on RAW, thankfully not with Vickie Guerrero but with Lita, among other things. Edge let everyone know that he too is still a fan, just like them, and graciously thanked the fans for going on the ride with him throughout his career. He proudly did his metal sign on his way to the back, then was shown exchanging goodbyes with other wrestlers, hugging Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry, Goldust, Eve, Gail Kim, Tyson Kidd, Natalya, Evan Bourne and the Bella Twins. It was very emotional and heartfelt, with the Rated R Superstar shedding plenty of tears.

Christian stood in his corner at ringside, while Ricardo Rodriguez and Brodus Clay stood by for Del Rio. Edge successfully reversed the cross armbreaker, turning it into an Edgeucator the second time around. Interference by Alberto's cronies didn't stop the Rated R Superstar as he delivered a spear for the win after enduring much punishment focused on his bandaged left arm.

Elimination Chamber - February 20, 2011
At Elimination Chamber, Edge was first interviewed by Todd Grisham backstage, and Drew McIntyre interrupted.

Later, in the chamber match, Edge and Rey Mysterio started things off, only to end up as the final two participants.

On SmackDown, Edge again defended his World title against Dolph Ziggler, this time with Vickie Guerrero as special referee. Once again, the spear was banned.

Royal Rumble - January 30, 2011
At the Royal Rumble, Edge had to improvise in his World title defense contest against Dolph Ziggler. The spear was of course banned by Acting General Manager Vickie Guerrero, who stood ringside for her beau. Edge managed to shake off a zig zag attempt and then seemed about to prep for a spear but then thought better of it. Instead, he slapped on the Edgeucator, but Ziggler made it to the ropes. Edge went for the Impaler DDT, another former finisher, but Dolph kicked out when there was a pinfall attempt. Later, the referee was knocked out accidentally when Dolph put the sleeper hold on the champion. Vickie Guerrero was up on the apron and slapped Edge across the face as he neared her. Kelly Kelly suddenly ran out and tripped her down, beating the holy hell out of her after. With the referee and Vickie both out cold, Edge delivered a massive spear! Moments later, when the official roused, he delivered a Killswitch, a nice homage to Christian, for the win to retain his title.
SmackDown - January 28, 2011
On SmackDown, Edge was interviewed backstage and said the Miz didn't matter and that Dolph Ziggler wouldn't either come the Royal Rumble. After, Rated RKO reunited for a "Champions vs Challengers" tag team match against the WWE champion and Ziggler. Edge scored the victory for his team with a spear on Ziggler, much to the dismay of Vickie Guerrero, who got on a mic and declared the spear would be illegal at the Rumble and that if Edge used it, he would be stripped of the World Championship. The Rated R Superstar let his feelings on that be known by spearing Ziggler off the apron, then spearing him twice on the outside (with the second being meant for Vickie!).
