#8 The Rated-R Superstar lives up to his name by sneak attacking Kofi Kingston -- and taking his spot

Edge's underhanded tactics earned him the WWE world championship

The saying cheaters never prosper has no meaning when you're the Rated-R Superstar!

Edge was once a beloved babyface and hero to the WWE Universe, but upon his return from a serious neck injury, he quickly turned into a vile, volatile, and hostile heel. Dubbed the Ultimate Opportunist because he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on an already bedraggled champion, he again lived up to his name in the No Way Out pay-per-view back in 2011.

The match was Edge's second bout of the night. He had already lost his Smackdown WWE Championship in a hard-fought contest. Undaunted, the Rated-R Superstar would sneak attack Kofi Kingston -- that poor guy just couldn't catch a break -- and then stole his spot in the Elimination Chamber match for the Raw World Heavyweight Championship.

Edge would go on to win the event and made history as the first man to lose, then regain, a world title on the same night.
