Edge, Part 5

During the ECW feud, Edge also won the #1 contendership for the WWE Title against The Big Show on RAW. While #1 contender Edge interfered in a WWE Title match between champion John Cena and challenger Rob Van Dam, helping Van Dam win the title. However, Edge was unable to win the title when he got his shot at it at Vengeance 2006.

Two weeks later, on the July 3 edition of RAW, Edge pinned Rob Van Dam in a Triple Threat No Disqualification Match, after blindsiding John Cena with the title belt, to become WWE Champion for the second time. The match marked the first time the WWE Championship changed hands on RAW since October 8, 2001.

Winning the title re-ignited his feud with John Cena from earlier in the year with Edge taking a shortcut at SNME (losing by disqualification) in order to retain his title. As a result of these tactics, Cena snapped and F-Ued him through the Spanish announcer's table. A match was later made for SummerSlam 2006 where if Edge was disqualified he would not only lose the match, but also his title. In the SummerSlam match, Edge managed to retain his title by pinning Cena after hitting him in the back of the head with brass knuckles while Lita distracted the referee.

On the next night's RAW, Lita, at Edge's command, threw John Cena's customized "spinner" belt into the Long Island Sound, declaring the end of the "Cena era" in his life. Following that, a column of smoke descended from the rafters concealing his brand new "Rated R" version of the belt. Cena, however, continued to haunt Edge, only to interfere in Edge's match and chase him down to the outside of the building, beat him down, and toss him into the polluted Long Island Sound himself. The next week, Cena came out, procuring a "three year" contract to SmackDown! and promising to sign it if Edge could beat him one more time. Edge agreed, on the condition the match be a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match (TLC), and held at Unforgiven 2006 in Edge's home town of Toronto. At the event, he lost the championship to Cena after Cena F-Ued him through two stacked tables from the ladder.

On the October 2 episode of RAW, interference from D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) cost Edge his "final chance" at Cena's WWE Championship in a Steel Cage. Though the interference was a response to the interference of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, Edge joined forces with Randy Orton in a feud against DX. Edge cited Orton's lack of success after being kicked out of Evolution by Triple H and DX's "stale" antics "taking up TV time" as reasons to join forces. The duo succeeded early on defeating DX at Cyber Sunday with thanks to guest referee Eric Bischoff. The pair then won the World Tag Team Championship from Ric Flair and Roddy Piper on the November 13 RAW, giving Edge sole possession of the World Tag Team Championship title reign record at 11 reigns. The success halted at Survivor Series 2006 when Team Rated-RKO was defeated by Team DX, 5-0, in a clean sweep.

The feud with DX continued at New Year's Revolution 2007 where Edge and Orton were battered by DX and the match ended in a no contest. However, Edge and Orton claimed victory on the grounds that Triple H legitimately tore his quadriceps in the match. To Edge and Orton, this marked the end of DX. Shawn Michaels vowed to deal with Rated-RKO and that vow was kept, when the next week on RAW he took out Randy Orton while Edge looked on from the entrance ramp. On January 29, 2007 edition of RAW, Rated-RKO lost the World Tag Team Championship to John Cena and Shawn Michaels.

As a teenager, Copeland appeared at WrestleMania VI as part of the crowd cheering for WWF Champion Hulk Hogan in the "Ultimate Challenge" Main Event against Intercontinental Champion Ultimate Warrior. He credits this match with making him realize he wanted to be a wrestler, following in the footsteps of Hogan and Warrior.
During his high school years, Copeland was voted "Most Likely to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship."
Copeland has been married and divorced twice. He was originally married to the sister of Sean Morley (Val Venis), but they divorced after a while, remaining good friends. He then married Lisa Ortiz.
In 2000, he made a cameo appearance in the movie Highlander: Endgame, credited as "Road Bandit". During the appearance, actor Adrian Paul remarks "Looks like you've lost your edge, lad" after defeating him in a sword fight.
His autobiography, entitled "Adam Copeland On Edge", was published on November 4, 2004. He was only the second WWE wrestler (after Mick Foley) to actually write their autobiography himself, instead of using a ghost writer like many other wrestlers. Incidentally, Foley wrote the foreword to this book.
Copeland had a tattoo on his upper biceps of a shark flexing its arm that resembled the protagonists of the cartoon "Street Sharks". He later covered that tattoo with a tattoo of a sun.
Copeland now sports a tattoo of a black star with red outline on his upper right bicep.
Copeland used to play youth hockey with current Montreal Canadian, Aaron Downey.
Copeland, as Edge, has (so far) appeared in every game in the WWE Smackdown! / WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW series.
Copeland is currently 5-0 at WrestleMania (This is the second longest streak after Undertaker's 14-0 streak
