#8 Edge vs Chris Benoit (Backlash 2005)

Edge's Money in the Bank victory at WrestleMania 21 might have changed his fortunes for the better, but it came at the expense of Chris Benoit, whose arm was injured by Edge at 'Mania. The two kept feuding and brawling during the next month, which included another attack by Edge on Benoit's arm after a loss to him.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

In order to allow them to settle their difference once and for all, Eric Bischoff scheduled a Last Man Standing match between the two at Backlash 2005. With a lot of bad blood boiling between the two, the initial goings of the match featured plenty of hard-hitting maneuvers, with both trying to take advantage.

The match became evenly poised during the middle phase as the action spilled into the crowd and at ringside. Edge, in specific, took a lot of punishment as he was hit by a German Suplex from the top of the ladder. Even that couldn't keep him down, as he fought back with 2 spears and a shot with the brick to Benoit's head to win a 19-minute slug fest.
