2. Edge vs. Finn Bálor (WrestleMania 39)
WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles was packed with incredible moments, but a major bright spot for WWE was the clash between Edge and Finn Bálor. As the third and final encounter between the two, this match served as the definitive conclusion to their intense, year-long feud.
The entrances were a highlight as both competitors brought back legendary versions of themselves. Edge resurrected his “Brood” character, wearing a chrome skull mask and entering to “South of Heaven” by Slayer, while Bálor countered by bringing back his haunting “Demon” persona.
The match lived up to its stipulation as both competitors utilized a wide array of weaponry. The battle featured ladders, chairs, and, most notably, kendo sticks that were color-coordinated: silver for Edge and purple for Bálor.
One of the most significant moments occurred when Edge threw a ladder at Bálor’s head, causing a brief stoppage as WWE medical staff applied staples to the wound. The match eventually concluded with a callback to Edge’s past, as he delivered a Con-chair-to, securing the victory.
