When Edge went down with a neck injury in 2003, the future WWE Champion knew it was only a matter of time before he'd be forced to hang up his boots.

And even with this knowledge, Edge returned 14 months later, and had an extraordinary career.

Joining RAW as part of his 2004 return, Edge would hold the Intercontinental and Tag Team Championships win the first Money In the Bank, become WWE World Champion and win the Royal Rumble.

But in early 2011, as World Heavyweight Champion, the Rated-R Superstar's injury re-emerged.

After consulting with doctors, Edge knew he had to call it quits.

Facing Alberto Del Rio in the opener of WrestleMania 27, Edge retained the title over the Mexican Aristocrat, before retiring as a true legend of the industry.
