Edge battled Alberto Del Rio, in what would later be revealed as the Canadian's last match.

#2. Chris Benoit Vs. Elijah Burke (ECW. June 19, 2007)

Benoit faced Elijah Burke, just days before the Canadian's double-murder suicide.

When Chris Benoit was drafted to ECW as part of the 2007 draft, everyone took note.

A former World Heavyweight Champion, Benoit had been in the original ECW, and with his tough style, many thought it was only a matter of time before the Rabid Wolverine held the extreme brand's title.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Meeting Elijah Burke on the June 19 episode, Benoit was able to topple the future TNA star, earning a spot at Vengeance: Night of Champions for the vacant title.

Of course, what happened next is well known.

During that weekend, Benoit would take the life of his wife and son, before committing suicide.

A heinous, vile act, the Wolverine would be replaced by Johnny Nitro, and Benoit's bout against Burke remains the last televised match in the Canadian's career.
