Hardy then leaped off the 20-foot-high (6.1 m) ladder, and drove him through the ladder with a leg drop, seemingly injuring both Edge and himself. The two were unable to continue the match and were removed from ringside on stretchers.[135] After this Edge and Orton also became rivals in their goals of achieving the WWE Championship.

This was diagnosed as cervical spinal stenosis, and doctors would not clear him to compete, for risk of neck-down paralysis or even death should he take a hard enough fall.[206][207][208] Later that same week, on the April 15 episode of SmackDown, Edge officially relinquished the World Heavyweight Championship, retiring as the World Heavyweight Champion while recapping his announcement and expressing gratitude over this happening now rather than when it was too late.[209]

On the April 22 episode of SmackDown, Edge interrupted Alberto Del Rio's mock retirement party for him.[210] At Extreme Rules on May 1, Edge helped his friend Christian to win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.[211] At SummerSlam on August 14, Edge was in Christian's corner for his World Heavyweight Championship defense against Randy Orton but, disappointed by the cowardly tactics Christian used to win his second World Heavyweight Championship, berated him and walked out on him. Christian then lost the title to Orton for a second time.[212] On the September 16 episode of SmackDown, in his hometown of Toronto, Edge hosted The Cutting Edge between Mark Henry and the World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton. After the show went off the air, they held Edge Appreciation Night to celebrate his career.

The Dudley Boyz to the Hall Of Fame 2018

On March 31, 2012, Edge was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Christian, during WrestleMania XXVIII weekend.[213] Edge made a surprise appearance on the April 23, 2012 episode of Raw, confronting his long-time rival John Cena about Brock Lesnar.[214] On the September 21, 2012 episode of SmackDown, Edge made an appearance addressing Team Hell No.[215] Edge returned on the September 9, 2013, episode of Raw in his hometown of Toronto where he hosted his talk show The Cutting Edge having Daniel Bryan as his special guest.[216]

Edge insulted Triple H in the segment, who retaliated by sending The Shield to attack Edge's friend Christian. Later that week, Edge hosted The Cutting Edge on the September 13 episode of SmackDown, where he mocked Randy Orton and watched as Orton's attack on Bryan backfired.[217] Edge and Christian hosted the December 29, 2014 episode of Raw, where they held the first ever Cutting Edge Peep Show interviewing Seth Rollins, who, along with Big Show, attacked them. Rollins held Edge hostage, thus forcing John Cena to reinstate the Authority. When Rollins tried to break Edge's neck anyway, Cena ended up making the save.[218] Edge would return on the January 2 episode of SmackDown and with The Authority back in power, apologized to the pair for the Seth Rollins attack.

Edge and Christian appeared in a backstage segment on the September 7 episode of Raw, where they were seen playing their trademark kazoos after a confrontation with Rollins. They would later become involved in an altercation with The New Day and The Dudley Boyz. In 2016, Edge and Christian began hosting the WWE Network Show, "The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness", a second season would eventually go on to air.

On February 15, 2016, it was announced Edge and Christian would host an installment of "The Cutting Edge Peep Show" at

SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch as his guest.[221]

At the SummerSlam pay-per-view event on August 11, 2019, Edge interrupted Elias' performance and performed a spear on him, engaging in physical wrestling for the first time since his retirement.[222] This sparked rumours that Edge had been medically cleared to wrestle, which he denied.[223]

In-ring return and Universal Championship pursuits (2020–2022)

At the

Last Man Standing match between them on the second night of WrestleMania 36 on April 5, which Edge won.[227][228] They had another match at Backlash on June 14, where Orton was victorious.[229] During the match, Edge suffered a torn triceps[230] and it was reported that the injury would sideline him for four to eight months.[231] After a seven-month hiatus, Edge returned on the January 25, 2021 episode of Raw, where he declared that he would enter the 2021 Royal Rumble match,[232] which he won after entering first, by last eliminating Orton.[233] With this victory, Edge became the eighth man to win the Royal Rumble match twice, the third to win it from the number one position, and the first to win it after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.[233] The following night on Raw, Edge, with the help of Alexa Bliss, defeated Orton to end their feud.[234]

At

triple threat match.[236] On the second night of WrestleMania 37 on April 11, Edge ultimately lost the match to Reigns following the assistance from Jey Uso, thus becoming the first person to win the Royal Rumble twice and lose both championship matches at WrestleMania.[237][238] After a two-month hiatus, Edge made his return on the June 25 episode of SmackDown, attacking both Reigns and Jimmy Uso.[239] The following day on Talking Smack, it was announced that Edge would face Reigns for the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank.[240] At Money in the Bank on July 18, Edge was unsuccessful in capturing the title due to interference from Seth Rollins.[241]

Over the following weeks, Edge and Rollins kept confronting and attacking each other until the August 6 episode of SmackDown, where Edge challenged Rollins to a match at

mixed tag team match.[252]

The Judgment Day and final storylines (2022–2023)

Main article: The Judgment Day

On the February 21 episode of Raw, Edge reflected on all the

six-person mixed tag team match.[259] The next night on Raw, Edge introduced Bálor as the newest member of The Judgment Day. Almost immediately, Bálor, Priest and Ripley suddenly turned on their leader, attacking Edge with his own signature con-chair-to move and kicking him out of the group.[260]

At

Hell in a Cell match, with Bálor suffering an injury after getting hit by a ladder thrown by Edge and had to be medically treated in the ring.[269]

As part of the

World Heavyweight Championship tournament, which was won by Styles.[272] On the July 7 episode of SmackDown, Edge returned and was interviewed by Grayson Waller on his show The Grayson Waller Effect. Edge then faced Waller in the latter's main roster in-ring debut match, which he won.[273] On the August 18 episode of SmackDown, which celebrated his 25 years with WWE, Edge defeated Sheamus in his hometown of Toronto in what would be his last match for WWE.[274] He left the promotion when his contract expired on September 30.[275]

All Elite Wrestling (2023–present)

Copeland with Bryan Danielson in October 2023

On October 1, 2023, Copeland made his debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) at the end of the promotion's WrestleDream pay-per-view event under his real name and the "Rated R Superstar" monicker, saving Sting and Darby Allin from an attack by Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and Nick Wayne.[276] During the post-event media scrum, it was revealed that Copeland signed a full-time multi-year contract with AEW.[277] Copeland began a feud with Cage, facing him and his stable, The Patriarchy at Full Gear in a 6-man tag team match.[278] Copeland would go onto defeat Cage for the TNT Championship at Worlds End, but lost it back to Cage when Cage invoked the title shot earned by his Patriarchy member Killswitch (formerly Luchasaurus) earlier that night to get an immediate rematch, ending Copeland's reign in approximately three minutes.[279] Copeland would regain the title in an "I quit" match on March 20, which started as the main event of Dynamite and concluded on a special live Rampage, both airing back-to-back.[280] Copeland issued an open challenge with his TNT Championship on the line, he dubbed "The Cope Open", successfully defending the title against the likes of Matt Cardona and Penta El Zero Miedo.[281][282]

Professional wrestling style and persona

Edge hitting his finishing move, the spear, on Mr. Kennedy

Edge utilizes the

spear as his finisher.[5] WWE announcer Michael Cole praised the psychology Edge included in the move, since "he knew that the longer he made the audience wait, the better it was going to be".[283] He has also performed other finishers including a lifting DDT called the Edgecution, and an inverted sharpshooter submission hold called the Edgecator.[284]

After his affair with Lita was brought to television as an on-screen relationship in 2005, Edge began to adopt the persona of a villain who revelled in controversy, nicknamed "The Rated R Superstar". This moniker was solidified when Edge and Lita performed a "live sex celebration" segment after he won his first WWE Championship in early 2006.[285][286] He is also nicknamed "The Ultimate Opportunist" due to how he used the Money in the Bank briefcase along with other underhanded opportunities to win numerous World Titles.[287][288]

In 2012, WWE voted him as both the third-best World Heavyweight Champion and 20th-best wrestling villain in WWE history.[289] His entrance theme, "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge, was selected as the greatest in WWE history by the company in a 2013 list.[290]

In June 2011, Copeland appeared as Thelo, an Abnormal, in the Sanctuary episode "Into the Black".[297] In September 2011, he held an "Edgucational" Essay Scholarship Contest, as an echo back to how he himself got a start in the wrestling business. The scholarship went to one of the students at Squared Circle Wrestling in Toronto, Alysha Verhoven, who has since gone on to work as Leah von Dutch.[298][299][300]

Copeland appeared regularly in the Syfy series

Mick Foley, who also wrote his wrestling autobiography himself in longhand, wrote the foreword to his book.[312]

In March 2016, Copeland appeared on CBC's Canada Reads competition where he championed the book Minister Without Portfolio by the English-born Canadian writer and author Michael Winter.[313]

Personal life

Copeland lives in Asheville, North Carolina.[317] He began a relationship with Alannah Morley, the sister of wrestler Val Venis, in 1998; they married on November 8, 2001,[318] and divorced on March 10, 2004.[319] He married Lisa Ortiz on October 21, 2004. Soon after marrying her, he began an affair with wrestler Lita, who was dating his friend Matt Hardy. The affair became public knowledge in February 2005,[320] resulting in Copeland and Ortiz divorcing on November 17, 2005.[321] Copeland and wrestler Beth Phoenix had a daughter in 2013 and a second daughter in 2016.[322][323] They were married on October 30, 2016 (his 43rd birthday).[324]

Copeland is a lifelong close friend of wrestler Christian Cage.[325] He is a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils ice hockey teams,[326] and used to play ice hockey with retired NHL player Aaron Downey.[327] He has said that he smoked one cigarette when he was 16, hated it, and has not smoked since.[328] He has several tattoos including a red and black sun on his left upper biceps which covers a former tattoo of a muscular shark, a star on his right upper biceps with several smaller stars and two skulls wearing bandanas adorned with flowers and hearts, a cross on his left forearm, and a scroll adorned with the words "Rise Above". All of his tattoos represent a stage in his career.[325]

In March 2007,

human growth hormone (hGH) ring used by a number of professional athletes in several sports. An article mentioned several current and former WWE wrestlers, including Copeland, who was alleged to have obtained hGH.[329] Copeland previously admitted to using steroids in April 2004 as an experiment after neck surgery, but said he felt like they slowed him down so he quickly stopped using them.[330] According to Copeland, he took hGH after returning from a spinal fusion neck surgery because doctors told him that it would help the bones grow back around the screws and plate that were inserted into his neck.[331] A Sports Illustrated article in August 2007 named Copeland as one of 10 wrestlers who were found to have purchased steroids and other drugs from an online pharmacy in violation of WWE's Talent Wellness program. He was said to have received the growth hormones somatropin and genotropin, as well as the steroid stanozolol, between September 2004 and February 2007.[332][333]
