With “The Rated-R Superstar” being the clear winner of the fan poll on X, it might not be too difficult to guess which era placed second: the period of Edge’s tag team with Christian. When the two broke away from their Brood origins in 1999, things began to really take off for the young wrestlers. They began showing off their comedy chops, and this formative period helped set both men up for their later success. Still, only 24.6% of fans on X count this period as their favorite version of Edge, possibly pointing toward a younger audience on the social media platform.
In third place, with just over half the votes of Edge & Christian, is The Brood era. This was the very beginning for both performers, who quickly teamed up with the vampire Gangrel after their debuts. During this period, it was said on TV that Edge and Christian were brothers, but that story element was (thankfully) dropped down the line.
Finally, with a lackluster 2.2% of the overall votes, is the latest era of Edge — from his in-ring return at the 2020 Royal Rumble until his final (for now) match on “WWE SmackDown” earlier this month. While this run has certainly had some fantastic moments, it is possible to make the argument that Edge’s latest run has been largely disappointing. Here’s to hoping the WWE Hall of Famer hasn’t hung up his boots for good just yet, and gets a chance to tell even better stories to come, whether in WWE or somewhere else.
