And for years, Christian did exactly that as he and Edge would dazzle fans, though it was always the future Rated-R Superstar who got the glory.

In 2001, the divide between the two only got wider, as Edge won the 2001 King of the Ring and followed it up with the Intercontinental Championship.

Stepping out of Edge's shadow, Christian would follow this up by taking his partner's Intercontinental Title.

A shocking moment between two brothers, who would bizarrely be retconned years later as just close friends.
