One of the oddest couples in WWE history, Edge and Vickie Guerrero somehow managed to make their storyline work. Vickie, Edge, and several others formed the stable, "La Familia", with Vickie's sole aim being to help Edge in his quest to stay at the top. Edge soon proposed to Vickie, but the wedding reception was interrupted by Triple H, who showed video footage featuring Edge, who had cheated on Vickie with Alicia Fox.

Eventually, Vickie got back at Edge by putting him in a Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker. The two legends collided in the cell at WWE SummerSlam 2008, in one of the best matches of the year. In the end, The Undertaker came out victorious. Months later, Edge and Vickie got back together on the road to WrestleMania. Edge was supposed to face Big Show at The Show of Shows, with the World title on the line. Vickie added John Cena to the match when he threatened to reveal a major secret. Cena ended up revealing Vickie's affair with Big Show anyway, much to Edge's anger. Cena won the World title at WWE WrestleMania 25, while Edge and Vickie's paths crossed several on several occasions down the line.

Throughout the angle, Vickie perfectly played the part of a heel figure who was ready to go to great lengths to get what she wanted, while Edge turned into SmackDown's biggest villain around the same time.
