WWE Legend Edge Won His First Singles Title by Accident
Wrestlemania 37.
One falsehood on Wikipedia says that when Edge formed the Brood with Gangrel and Christian, he lacked the confidence to be singles star in the WWE. “I didn’t lack confidence in being a singles guy,” Edge explains. “It was that there was no direction to the character, so with the Brood I went, ‘Oh, here we go.

Though it’s true that Edge won his first singles title in his hometown, he actually wasn’t booked to become the Intercontinental Champion that night. “During the match we did this thing where I pinned [Jeff Jarrett] and the crowd thought I won and then they were gonna reverse it, but then Jack Lanza, who was the road agent at the time, walked out and said, ‘Go get your belt.’ I went, ‘Whaaaa?’ We’re calling an audible here!”
