Edge


 

Adam Joseph Copeland (born October 30, 1973), better known by the ring name Edge, is a Canadian professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand. Regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, he has won a total of 31 championships in his WWE career.[8]

After making his professional wrestling debut in 1992, Copeland wrestled in various independent promotions, competing in singles and tag-team competition, the latter with long-time friend Christian. In 1997, he signed a developmental deal with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and made his televised debut in 1998 under the ring name Edge. After winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship in 1999, Edge formed a tag team with Christian, and the two won the World Tag Team Championship on seven occasions. During this time, they gained notoriety due to their participation in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. They are considered one of the major teams that revived tag team wrestling during the Attitude Era.[9] Edge split with Christian in 2001 and embarked on a successful solo career. He has won the second-most championships in WWE history with 31, holding the World Heavyweight Championship a record seven times, the WWE Championship four times, the Intercontinental Championship five times, the United States Championship once, the World Tag Team Championship a record 12 times, and the WWE Tag Team Championship twice. He is WWE's 14th Triple Crown Champion and 7th Grand Slam Champion. He won the 2001 King of the Ring tournament, the 2005 (and first) Money in the Bank ladder match, and 2010 Royal Rumble match, making him the first wrestler to achieve all three.[10]

Edge retired in 2011 due to several neck injuries, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the following year. Nine years after retiring, he returned to wrestling as a surprise entrant in the 2020 Royal Rumble match and won the next year's Royal Rumble, becoming the eighth man to win the Royal Rumble twice, the third to win it as the first entrant, and the first to win it after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He has headlined multiple PPV events for WWE, including WrestleMania XXIV and WrestleMania 37, and is one of the company's most prolific PPV performers.[11]

Aside from professional wrestling, Copeland has acted in the films Highlander: Endgame and Bending the Rules. He has made guest appearances on television shows such as Weakest Link, Mind of Mencia, Deal or No Deal, MADtv, and The Flash. He played Dwight Hendrickson on the Syfy series Haven in 2015 and Ketill Flatnose in Vikings (2017–2020). He is also scheduled to appear as Ares in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
