Next weekend at WWE Money in the Bank, Edge has the opportunity to become Universal Champion, but back in 1999, The Rated R Superstar was able to win a Championship by accident.

Edge faced off against Jeff Jarrett at a house show in his hometown of Toronto, Canada on July 24th, 1999. The Rated R Superstar was not supposed to pick up the win or take the title, but after he was able to accidentally pin Jarrett, he was told that he could keep the Championship.

Edge appeared on Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction where he revealed the real story behind his first Intercontinental Championship victory.

“During the match we did this thing where I pinned [Jeff Jarrett] and the crowd thought I won and then they were gonna reverse it, but then Jack Lanza, who was the road agent at the time, walked out and said, ‘Go get your belt.’ I went, ‘Whaaaa?’ We’re calling an audible here!”

It's worth noting that this was Edge's first singles championship in WWE and has since led to a lengthy career where the current WWE star is a former 11-time World Champion.
