Edge (new champion) def. Undertaker (TLC Match for World Heavyweight Championship)
SAN DIEGO -- Edge came to San Diego intent on taking the vacated World Heavyweight Championship and ending Undertaker's career in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. And at One Night Stand, the Rated-R Superstar lived up to his promise -- winning his fifth World Championship and banishing The Phenom from WWE.
In a brutal confrontation, the Ultimate Opportunist used his vast, victorious experience in TLC Matches to his advantage, climbing the ladder to claim the "richest prize in the game." And while Undertaker proved that he could more than hold his own in the contest, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder made sure The Phenom couldn't capitalize. The duo attacked the former champion, leaving an opening for Edge to take control, but Undertaker fought back and delivered a Last Ride through two tables. But "The Family" attacked, and as it appeared the gold was The Deadman's, Edge shocked the world, pushing the ladder and crushing Undertaker's hopes -- ascending the rungs to take back the gold.
With Undertaker effectively gone from WWE, can anybody step up to challenge the new World Heavyweight Champion Edge and "The Family"? Will any Superstar want to go head-to-head with the "master manipulator" and his fiancée, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, after seeing how they eliminated The Deadman from WWE with their schemes over the past few months?
One thing is certain, it won't be Undertaker. A career worthy of WWE Hall of Fame induction has been ended by the plans of a title-hungry Edge and his lover -- a fate no Superstar wants to repeat.
