Chris Jericho and Edge: The Canadian Coalition

Ever since Wrestlemania, the Colons became the Unified Tag Team Champions. It has always been mentioned that the Colons were obligated to defend the titles on all three brands; however, until tonight, the titles have been isolated to RAW matches.

GM Teddy Long, pressured by McMahon to shake things up, changed the scheduled title match between Priceless and the Colons to a Triple Threat by introducing a newly formed Tag Team - Edge and Chris Jericho.

Edge, a nine-time World Champion, is now a twelve-time Tag Team Champion. He is a master of deception but also of choosing his tag team partners - lately through egos. Edge, along with Christian, revolutionized the tag team division by defeating the likes of the Hardyz and the Dudleys. Sucess would strike twice in Rated-RKO when he joined with Randy Orton to capture gold and dominate D-Generation X.

Tonight, Edge completes the trifecta by teaming up with yet another Canadian - Chris Jericho. Jericho is no stranger to gold - especially unified. He is the only man in history to pin both Stone Cold and the Rock - on the same night - to become the Undisputed World Champion. It is also clear that Jericho is no stranger of losing a match early on in the PPV - only to come back to win gold. Overall, Teddy Long has been a decent General Manager, but McMahon's influence is working beautifully.
