Trending
When it comes to underappreciated rivalries, look no further than Undertaker and Edge’s scintillating series of battles that spanned from December 2007 to June 2008. The final clash between the two undisputed legends, coming at One Night Stand 2008, was nothing less than a thrilling, unpredictable battle that pitted two of WWE’s biggest names head-to-head in an effort to determine who the better man was finally.
As stipulated, Undertaker would be forced to leave the company if he failed to defeat Edge that night. To add even more drama to the bout, the vacant World Heavyweight Championship was up for grabs. Despite Dave Meltzer perplexingly only awarding this bout 3 and a half stars, it is clear that a match of this quality certainly merited a far higher rating.

In an era where extreme violence in WWE seemed just to come much more naturally, fans were treated to a number of huge spots, including Undertaker delivering a massive Last Ride to Edge, through two tables from halfway up the ladder.
Just as all hope appeared to be lost for the “Rated R Superstar”, with Undertaker scaling the ladder having decimated Edge, La Familia appeared and instantly involved themselves in the action.
Bam Neely and Chavo Guerrero began to pummel The Deadman, however, the tables quickly turned, and Taker laid out both men with steel chairs. Attempting to climb and retrieve the title once more, Undertaker found himself halfway up the ladder when Edge made his way back to his feet.
Remorselessly shoving the ladder, Edge sent Undertaker crashing out of the ring and through FOUR tables that had been set up outside the ring. As the boos reigned down, Edge fully capitalised to ascend the ladder and grab the World Heavyweight Championship, bringing the stunning match to a close and proving to everybody that he was the real deal.
