5 WWE Superstars who wanted to lose a championship match

#1 Edge wanted to lose the World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE WrestleMania 24

Edge had an opportunity to beat The Undertaker's streak

The Undertaker challenged Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 24. The Rated-R Superstar was the top champion of SmackDown, while The Deadman earned a chance to battle him by winning an Elimination Chamber match. They crossed paths in the closing bout of the night, and Edge had a chance to retain his title by defeating The Phenom.

However, since The Undertaker had a 15-match winning streak at WWE WrestleMania, Edge felt that he would have proven to be the wrong man to end that streak. In a recent interview with The New York Post, 'Taker's wife Michelle McCool disclosed that Edge refused to beat his legendary opponent. Here's what she said:

“I remember a few years prior at WrestleMania [24] versus Edge, they talked about Edge breaking the streak and it was Edge that was actually like ‘That makes zero sense. I don’t want to do that. Why would I do that? The fans already love him. What’s it going to do for Edge?"

The Rated-R Superstar lost that match as The Deadman won the World Heavyweight Championship by forcing his enemy to tap out to Hell's Gate.
