He is presently contracted to WWE, where he competes on the SmackDown brand as Edge. He is the 14th Triple Crown Champion and the 7th Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
Triple Crown Champion is an award given by WWE to only three people in its history: Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H. The award is presented after a wrestler has won World Championships at both the heavyweight and light heavyweight levels.
Edge first gained attention during his tenure in Fuson Pro Wrestling, where he was a two-time world tag team champion. After joining WWE in 2002, he became the inaugural World Tag Team Champion with John Cena. They went on to win the championship again in 2009 and 2010. In addition to his work as a singles competitor, Edge also holds the record for most successful title defenses with 16. His best match according to several polls is still considered to be his bout against The Rock at WrestleMania XXVII.
As far as money is concerned, Triple H made $250,000 while defending his Championship at WrestleMania XXVII. Meanwhile, Edge received a contract worth $500,000 for winning the same title.
It is believed that Triple H made more than Edge because of their relationship with Vince McMahon.
He is the 14th Triple Crown Champion and the 7th Grand Slam Champion in WWE history. Edge was the first wrestler in history to win the King of the Ring tournament in 2001, the inaugural Money in the Bank ladder match in 2005, and the 2010 Royal Rumble event. ... Edge (wrestler)

Edge announced his retirement shortly after WrestleMania because to neck difficulties. Edge gave up the gold. The championship was up for grabs at the following PPV, Extreme Rules, in a ladder match between Christian and Del Rio. If Christian lost, he would have been stripped of his title.
Christian won the match to become new champion. But why did Edge retire? And what is wrong with his neck? We will never know because Edge is retired forever now that he has given up his title shot.
Retirement is when an athlete stops competing full-time. Or they could continue to work part-time or even full-time but at another organization. For example, Michael Jordan retired from basketball but still works out regularly with his baseball team, the Chicago White Sox.
There are many reasons why athletes retire. Physical problems are the most common cause of retirement. An injury may be minor enough so that it does not keep an athlete from training or performing their job, but it can also be serious enough to force them to quit. Mental issues are another reason why athletes retire. Some lose interest in sports while others feel burned out from all the hard work involved in being an athlete. Financial problems may also cause athletes to retire. They might not be able to pay their bills or support their family as well as other people, so they decide to stop working.
Edge has won 31 championships in WWE history, second only to R-Truth, holding the World Heavyweight Championship seven times, the WWE Championship four times, the Intercontinental Championship five times, the United States Championship once, and the World Tag Team Championship twice. Edge is also one of only three wrestlers to win championships in different categories (Wrestling's Greatest Tags: The History of the World Tag Team Championship).
He first gained recognition as a champion in ECW where he was the inaugural champion before moving on to WWF television. There, he became one of the most successful champions in history, winning seven titles over his time with the company.
During his time in WWF television, Edge also held the title of World Heavyweight Champion, which at the time was the top championship in the company. He is the only wrestler to hold both the ECW and WWF Championships. His title wins are considered historic because after his departure from the company, both titles were abandoned by their owners (the companies) and no further singles championships were introduced until 2003 when Vince McMahon reintroduced the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
Following his success in WWF television, Edge moved on to film production work where he produced several movies that were very successful at the box office. These include: Armageddon, Catwoman, and 12 Angry Men.
Edge made his almost impossible comeback to wrestling after nearly nine years away and triple-fusion neck surgery. He surged into the ring and recaptured a dream that had seemingly been ripped away for good after a moment of tremendous emotion in which he glanced toward the skies.
Edge made a pyro-enhanced entrance on Monday Night Raw after returning from the Royal Rumble. When Sheamus came to town to record an episode of his Celtic Warrior training show, it occurred to me that this may be a possibility.
How could Edge, eight years after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, return to the ring at the age of 46, appearing fitter and thinner than at any previous time in his career? Surprisingly, it all started when he wrecked his mountain bike.

Following a nine-year hiatus, Edge made a triumphant comeback to the ring during last year's Royal Rumble. Unfortunately, he tore his triceps while shooting his Backlash encounter against Randy Orton. Edge was out for seven months due to the injury before returning to the ring at the Royal Rumble. He would go on to face Brock Lesnar in three straight falls for the WWE Universal Championship.
Signature Finishing Moves of Edge Edge's spear helped him win many world titles on both Raw and Smackdown. The maneuver, like Goldberg's spear and Rhino's gore, was primarily a football tackle to the belly sans protection. It allowed for some great high-risk high-reward moves that often won matches alone.
Originally known as "The German Suplex", the name was changed when Germany became too hot to handle so Edge started using his native language instead.
Spear's finisher move is now used by many wrestlers including Damien Sandow, who uses it as his main move; Daniel Bryan, who uses it as his winning move; and Curtis Axel, who uses it during his entrance theme.
In addition to these men, there are two other performers who have used the Spear in recent years: KENTA (who performed it at Wrestle Kingdom 10) and SANADA (who used it at The New Beginning in Japan).
When performing the move, you should walk straight into it at full speed with no break between the charge and the impact. This ensures maximum damage to your opponent.
Also, don't be afraid to use more than one Spear per match if needed.
