10 Fascinating Backstage Facts About Edge
You think you know me?!
If you want to talk about the most news-worthy wrestlers in the world right now, then you had better bring up the Rated-R Superstar! The perpetual controversy magnet CM Punk is, naturally, up there too. But Edge really takes the cake thanks to his recent transition from WWE to AEW.
Adam Copeland's wrestling resume is more crowded with accolades than the London tube during rush hour. He's one of the most decorated champions in WWE history, the first-ever Money in the Bank winner, one of the youngest wrestlers inducted into the Hall of Fame, one of the most prolific Tag Team wrestlers of all time, and has plenty more piled on top.
With a big old career like that, you'd better believe he's got a tidbit or two packed away!
Edge wrestled in WWF/E for over two decades and spent his best years in the company, barring his tragic retirement between 2011 and 2022. As such, he has collected many interesting backstage facts and stories that even die hard fans might have missed.

10. He Got Into A Fist-Fight With Christian Over A Video Game
It's no secret that Edge and Christian are the absolute best of buds. But, their brother-like relationship has not been free of in-fighting, as they once came to blows over a serious issue, NHL '94.
Edge discussed this incident on an episode of The Steve Dangle Podcast. He claimed that he and Christian once had an intense fist fight after playing the National Hockey League game, which got so serious that they flipped themselves over a pool table.
According to Copeland, Christian is a terrible winner and a sore loser, with this skirmish (which probably counts as their first match, an actual backstage brawl) resulting from this competitiveness.
Hilariously, the story continued even after the fight concluded.
After Christian stormed out post-battle, Edge chased him in his car and called for him to come back, trying to stop them, in his own words, "breaking up over a video game." Copeland described this dramatic scene as "straight out of an 80s Molly Ringwald movie."
Thankfully, they worked past this little blip and are now the best of friends in All Elite Wrestling; if you ignore kayfabe, of course.
