5 Superstars who have defined SmackDown

#2 Edge

The Rated-R Superstar was a mainstay during his time on SmackDown

Once more, a perfect segway into our next inclusion, and a man who makes the cut due to more than one notable run on SmackDown.

Edge was a part of the original SmackDown roster. Still relatively early into his Hall of Fame career, we were a couple of years off the main event run that lead him to multiple world titles.

In this spell in 2002, The Canadian served as a tag team specialist, something he was well accustomed to teaming with Christian for all those years.

Here, along with Rey Mysterio, they made up one-third of the Smackdown Six, who would frequently trade the Smackdown Tag Titles in the fall of that year.

After injury cost him a year of his career in 2003, he wouldn't return to the brand until 2007. That night, he would cash in his second Money in The Bank briefcase to defeat The Undertaker to win the World Heavyweight Title.

This would begin a near two-year reign of terror over SmackDown for The Rated R Superstar, in what many would regard as one of the finest heel runs in wrestling history.

He would use Vicki Guerrero and his La Familia stable to ensure he remained champion at all costs. Even when he lost it, he'd do everything and anything to win it back.
