5 worst things the Rated-R Superstar Edge did on WWE TV

The Rated-R Superstar had an extraordinary career but made plenty of enemies with his vile deeds.

Edge: The Rated-R Superstar. The Ultimate Opportunist. Whatever you want to call him, the Canadian had an incredible in-ring career.

Joining the WWF in 1998, Edge would establish himself as a great tag team wrestler, who then went on to have a stellar singles run, evidenced in his consistent main-event presence in the latter half of his career.

Capturing his first WWE Championship in 2006, Edge would hold 11 World championships throughout his career, as well as the Intercontinental, United States and Tag Titles. He won two Money in the Bank briefcases - the first in the inaugural MITB ladder match - and also won the 2010 Royal Rumble. A former King of the Ring winner and WrestleMania main eventer, Edge is one of the most decorated performers in the history of the company.

Retiring in 2011, Edge would be inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, and has gone down as one of the greatest of all time.

Edge's most successful run in the company was as a heel. He was never afraid to take advantage of others to pursue his goals.

Here are the five most evil deeds committed by Edge on WWE TV.

5: Slapping John Cena's Father

Cena and Edge would battle for years over the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships.

John Cena is one of WWE's toughest Superstars, and fought Edge for years, to the point where the 16-time World Champion could be considered his greatest rival.

In 2006 though, Edge's disdain for Cena reached a new high, when the Canadian arrived in John's childhood home, with vitriol in his heart.

After insulting Cena's family home and trashing the place, Edge, alongside Lita, would be confronted by John Cena Sr, the father of the Champ.

After a brief argument between the two, Edge slapped Cena Sr. across the face. Edge employed mind games effectively with John Cena - the vile act certainly paid off as after slapping the older Cena, Edge would retain the WWE title a few weeks later at SummerSlam against Cena Jr after using brass knuckles.

4: Having Undertaker banned from WWE

Edge became World Heavyweight Champion and banished his foe in the same night.

When Edge began a relationship with SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, the Ultimate Opportunist knew exactly what he was doing.

After losing the World Heavyweight title to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 24, Edge was eager to get the title back, convincing Guerrero to strip the gold from the Deadman, for using the then-banned Hell's Gate submission maneuver.

With the title vacated, Edge would convince Vickie to set a TLC match (Edge's speciality), between him and The Phenom, where if Undertaker lost, he would be banished from WWE.

With La Familia interfering on his behalf, Edge won the match and regained the World Heavyweight Championship, whilst seemingly ending the career of the legendary Deadman.

Unfortunately for the Rated-R Superstar, all good things do indeed come to an end, which brings us to...

3: Cheating on Vickie Guerrero

Edge and Vickie would briefly enjoy wedded bliss, before it all came crashing down.

With The Undertaker gone, and the World Heavyweight Championship back in his possession, life was sweet for Edge in mid-2008.

All that remained in his master plan was to marry Vickie Guerrero, cementing the alliance that had worked wonders for him, with hopes of many more years of success.

With their wedding taking place on SmackDown, it seemed things were going perfectly for Edge, until Triple H showed up.

Revealing that Edge had cheated on Vickie with wedding co-ordinator Alica Fox, Triple H caused a major wrinkle in Edge's plan: as retaliation, Vickie re-instated The Undertaker.

Forcing Edge into a Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker at SummerSlam that year - which the former lost - Guerrero demonstrated her authority. The pair would patch things up, but their dynamic never truly was the same again.

2: Both Money in the Bank cash-ins

Edge changed WWE forever when he cashed in his first Money in the Bank contract.

At WrestleMania 21, Edge won the very first WWE Money in the Bank ladder match, though few realized what that meant at the time.

As the first contract holder, many expected that Edge would announce his cash-in at a major event - at SummerSlam, or even WrestleMania.

What actually transpired, was far more unpredictable and brilliant.

After John Cena had barely survived the Elimination Chamber in January 2006, Edge struck, with fans being reminded in shocking fashion that 'cashing in anytime', really meant any time. Edge won the WWE Championship for the first time in his illustrious career, announcing his arrival to the main event level in WWE.

The original Mr. Money in the Bank would be synonymous with the MITB concept, winning the briefcase again in 2007 from Mr. Kennedy. This time around, Edge wouldn't dilly-dally, cashing in days later on a downed and bloodied Undertaker. Edge laid the foundation for cash-ins, defining MITB for years to come.

1: The entire Matt Hardy situation

Edge demolished Hardy when the pair faced off at Summerslam 2005.

This may have transpired on WWE TV, but this heinous act was all too real.

When Matt Hardy was out with an injury, his real-life girlfriend Lita would cheat on him with Edge, a long-time friend of the V1 Superstar.

What followed on WWE TV was an intense rivalry that was often-times hard to watch due to the brutality involved. While Edge and Hardy waged a war on each other, Lita received condemnation from the fans for causing such a scenario - either way, it made for some of the best WWE angles of their respective careers.

Facing off at SummerSlam 2005, Edge would brutalize his former friend until the referee stopped the match; Hardy would strike back, winning weeks later inside a Steel Cage.

This all came to a head on the October 3, edition of RAW, when Edge beat Hardy once more in a Loser Leaves Raw match, forcing Matt to move to SmackDown, bringing the grisly events to a close.

Edge was established as a big-time player in WWE by the end, and would carve out a truly unique career for himself after this arc.
