WWE Hall Of Famer Edge is a true legend in the world of professional wrestling as he has been touted as a pioneer for one of the most memorable match types in pro wrestling – the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. He also had a phenomenal career as a singles star in WWE, having won the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship numerous times. Edge also defended Hulk Hogan recently before WrestleMania 37.
Back in 2006, Edge and John Cena had a bitter rivalry. Edge defeated John Cena at WWE SummerSlam 2006 to retain the WWE Championship. Six days prior to the event, Edge visited the Cena family home with his then-girlfriend, Lita. The segment ended with Edge slapping Cena’s father in the face and flooring time.
John Cena Sr. spoke on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted, where he claimed that Vince McMahon did not like the scene at all.
“Vince McMahon thought that was the worst thing in the world. However, do you notice how much mileage they got out of that slap? ‘Cena’s down! Cena’s down! Cena’s down!’ And they just kept putting it on, putting it on, and it always shows up… I don’t care where it is, that slap has become ‘a hall of fame slap.’ Bang, Cena’s down.”
