Ranking the 10 greatest Championship defenses in WrestleMania history

#4 Chris Jericho (C) Vs. Edge - Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship, WrestleMania XXVI

Unbelievable action inside the squared circle

Another Chris Jericho match that makes the cut is his impressive title defense over one of professional wrestling's most respected competitors, Edge.

The two in-ring magicians locked horns for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXVI after the Rated-R Superstar made a shocking return at the 2010 Royal Rumble match, winning the highly popular gimmick match in the process.

After sealing his ticket to the Showcase of the Immortals, almost everyone expected Edge to walk out of the University of Phoenix Stadium with the coveted World title. However, this is where WWE is at its very best, when they are able to give the fans something shocking whilst keeping them entertained throughout.

Despite being overshadowed by The Undertaker's epic clash with Shawn Michaels in the main event that night, Edge and Jericho did everything they could to bring respect to the World Heavyweight title.

The storyline, the spots, the near-falls, everything was booked almost perfectly in this 16 minute clash. Although Jericho played his heel role to perfection by working on Edge's achilles tendon, hitting the latter with the World title, and capitalizing on the recently returned legend's vulnerability to get the job done, it was the Rated-R Superstar who walked out of Arizona with the last laugh after hitting Y2J with a stunning spear through the barricade.

Whilst this may not be one of WrestleMania's greatest in-ring encounters, Jericho's retention over Edge was perfectly executed and kept the fans intrigued throughout.
