2. Edge Vs. Rey Mysterio – Royal Rumble 2008
Edge dropped the WWE Championship to John Cena at the 2006 Royal Rumble. Still, a couple of years later, the Rated-R Superstar ensured that lightning didn’t strike twice in his World Heavyweight Championship title defense against Rey Mysterio. The former WWE Tag Team Champions did an excellent job in a highly competitive title match. However, the Master of the 619 began to favor his knee, which Edge expertly targeted.
Things were on a level playing field after the referee sent Curt Hawkins and Zak Ryder back to the locker room. Mysterio was closing in on his second world title after he executed the 619 and splash, but Vickie Guerrero intervened by pulling the referee. Moreover, that didn’t stop Mysterio from using the 619 again.
He didn’t care that Vickie took the brunt of his second 619, which bought Edge some time to get up, and spearing Mysterio in mid-air. The Rated-R Superstar covered Mysterio to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
