He was also involved in some phenomenal feuds for the title against the likes of The Undertaker, and has been one of the most improved performers in the past decade.

With Edge being one of the “top guys” on SmackDown!, he carried the brand on his shoulders for a couple of years, and was involved in some outrageous storylines (La Familia, anyone?).

This earns him the number one spot on our list as the greatest World Heavyweight champion in the past 11 years in the WWE.
