Edge ALMOST Said NO to Money In The Bank Briefcase?!

Adam Copeland, FKA Edge in the WWE, almost passed on the iconic Wrestlemania 21 Money in the Bank Ladder Match which lead to his famous 1st WWE Championship win over John Cena after cashing in.
The story of Edge's rise to the WWE Main event saw him only hold the WWE Championship for 3 weeks before losing it back to John Cena.
The Rated R Superstar turned that negative into a positive with Mick Foley and their memorable Wrestlemania 22 street fight which included a flaming table.

Edge cashing in on Super Cena after he won a brutal elimination chamber was the best cash in by far.

Edges first cash in is still the greatest ever, it was totally unexpected nobody knew for sure how a cash in would go until he comes out there with a bloody John Cena who just survived an elimination chamber match and Edge steals the title from him and that launched him to the next level. Rollins was good but it didn’t hit quite the same as cashing in on a bloody wounded defenseless champion, Edges cash in was far more underhanded and that’s what made it so damn good and made all us fans despise him even more, the celebration the next night with Lita was the cherry on top still can’t believe that actually happened on tv

[@ParlorTattooProject]

WWE TV makes us forget how big these dudes are. Edge is huge.

[@christasmith6004]

said this about many sports when it comes to performance and athlete size, TV does not do it justice with the current technology.

My first mania was 21. IMHO, the best…22

[@greghuffman3061]

i watched it with my dad (rip) and was the only time i saw a mania with him. I was just gonna like download it the next day but he offere to buy it. I think the only thing that keeps it from like top 5 status for me is that the 2 world title matches were both subpar as far as actual match quality though they were both important victories

[@D1Fring]

It was. First ever MITB, Kurt and Shawn tearing it down, Batista and Cena’s crowning moments

[@mbeas9612]

​@D1Fring Exactly. Cena, Batista, Orton and Edge became WWE's Big 4 who took over the company while dominated the main event scene started from WM 21 throughout the rest of Ruthless Aggression Era

[@robgarcia3565]

Edge is the perfect example of MITB elevating an upper mid carder into the main event scene, imo no one benefited more from it than him.

[@machomusprime50]

Seth is a close 2nd..

Edge had already stolen the show at three Manias and main evented Raw like 100 times.

Edge cashing in Money in the Bank and becoming WWE champ was my favorite moment in wrestling history. Edge was my fav wrestler and I remember going to school making all my friends mad celebrating his W. Literally all my friends hated Edge and loved Cena 😂

It's a shame his first run as WWE champion was so short cause he had to drop it back to Super Cena

Blame triple h lol. They could have done cena vs edge at mania as well but I’m pretty sure someone locked cena hhh for that mania already.

[@hilmannyusof88]

Edge's first reign lasting only 3 weeks made so much sense, especially considering the opportunistic nature of his cash-in. Combine that with the Mick Foley feud, it made his transition to main event status so believable.

[@kevinhousen2791]

And we have the birth of the Ultimate Opportunitis.

[@adamrivera7889]

I was a kid when that cash in on Cena happened. I was a big Cena fan and let me tell you… I was so heated. lol but as an adult… GREAT storyline!

[@khamla616]

Edge was my favorite wrestler during that era

[@LoneWolfe_XX]

You had great taste. He sold the heel role so good that you thought it was who he truly was in real life. His mic skills were great and I enjoyed his matches

[@wesleycuban8649]

Edge winning MITB was when his Prime started.

[@adrenalineunlimited]

Top 10 wrestler ever

[@AmanKumar-ct3eb]

The best WWE MITB cash-in was came on 4 different occasions and everybody will have some agreement with me. 1.Edge cashing in on John cena at WWE New year's Revolution. 2.Seth cashing in on reigns and brock at Wrestlemania 31. 3.Alexa bliss cashing in on Nia Jax at Money in the bank 2018. 4.Carmella cashing-in on charlotte flair at Raw after Mania 34.

Those first two cash ins with edge & rvd were something special & fresh. Sad what it's turned into. They should've scraped it years ago

[@declangaming24]

​@@deanbecenti9769might when he retires he's likely having a 2 or 3 year run in AEW he had a 3 year run when he returned to WWE 2020-2023 he joined AEW after that so around 2026 or 2027 will be when he calls it a day. If Edge never retired in 2011 and was still wrestling he would never of left WWE until accomplishing and getting close to 16 world championships . Same with Christian if he never got injured.
