Edge, who won numerous titles in WWE becoming a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion, began his WWE career back in 1996. He had a few matches in WWE before being officially signed in 1997.

In an appearance on Chris Jericho's Talk is Jericho, Edge spoke about his WCW matches:
"That was the thing I so quickly learned [how crazy WCW was]. I walked in and I was like, oh, this locker room doesn’t feel good. You’d see the guys that you could go to, and I remember talking to Chris [Benoit]. He knew I was Canadian, he found out I was Canadian so he pulled me aside and he was like just be careful here. I was like oh, okay. It was about 95, 96. He said don’t trust anybody here. I was like okay, got it."
