You remember in the Honorable Mention part earlier, where I mentioned how that was the moment that Edge, arguably, earned the nickname "The Ultimate Opportunist?" Of course you do - it was, like six pages ago and this feature isn't that long. Well, it was at No Way Out in 2009 that the Rated-R Superstar really hammered the point home.

Earlier in the night, Edge was defending his WWE Championship in a Chamber match - and found himself the first person eliminated. Unable to handle losing his beloved title - part of Edge's character at the time was his obsession with being a world champion - he started to concoct a plan. A plan he launched during the World Heavyweight Championship match later that night.

The match, as originally booked, had the then-Champion John Cena defending his title against Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Chris Jericho, and Kane. However, before Kingston could come to the ring and enter his pod, Edge attacked him - removing him from the match and taking his place.

How this was allowed to happen was explained on Raw the next night and it pretty much irrelevant to the story now.

Edge would eventually pin Cena to eliminate him from the match, resulting in one of the greatest facial expressions in WWE history.

Edge would go on to win the match after pinning Rey Mysterio following a spear. Edge would go on to be the first WWE Superstar to lose the WWE Championship and win the World Heavyweight Championship on the very same night.

Is it the greatest night in Elimination Chamber history? Eh... that's debatable. Is it the most memorable? I sure think so.
