After two years, the Highlight Reel returned with Edge as the special guest. With Edge building up rapid momentum since his miraculous return and win at the Royal Rumble, will Edge in fact spear Jericho at WrestleMania to become a 10th World Champion? Then again, the last time Jericho hosted the Highlight Reel, he drove Shawn Michael's face into the plasma TV. So if Jericho were to gain any type of momentum, the time is nigh.
When Edge tore his Achilles tendon, he underwent a transformation from super-heel to fan favorite almost instantly. Yet, it was largely due to his former tag partner's disparaging remarks that allowed Edge to shine through as a sentimental favorite. Even as Edge entered the ring for the Highlight Reel, people chanted "spear."
Nevertheless, as Jericho pointed out, each time that Edge has reached the cusp of greatness, an injury would follow, whether a shoulder, or a neck injury. The neck injury cost Edge a year away from the WWE and two WrestleManias. While Edge was nursing his injuries, Jericho was main-eventing those WrestleManias against Shawn Michaels and Christian.
Even though Jericho lost those matches, he claims that he was cementing his WWE legacy. Albeit, Edge has undergone numerous injuries, but he has always been about taking risks. Whether it is jumping off of a 12 foot ladder, going through a flaming table, getting hit with a steel chair, going through thumb tacks, Edge has based his career on calculated risks.
Again, going back to when Edge tore his Achilles tendon, the doctors told him that he would be out anywhere between 8 months to a year. Edge rushed his recovery and returned back in 6. The question that lingers, is Edge fully healed? After main-eventing every SmackDown and picking up some impressive victories, one could argue that Edge is ready. But Jericho, who has never been injured, will look to re-injure his former tag partner.
Then as expected, Chris Jericho gained some much needed momentum by striking Edge with the microphone, followed by stool chair shots. Jericho then attempted to drive Edge through the plasma TV; shades of 2 years ago, but Edge turned it to an impaler DDT. And for the coup de grâce, Edge went for another spear, but Jericho used the World Heavyweight Title to knock Edge out.
With two weeks left till WrestleMania, this is promised to be one of the best main-events in recent history. With WrestleMania 25 only have one memorable match, this year's will have Chris Jericho vs Edge, jocking for Best Match of the Year spot, along with the anticipated Michaels-Taker II.
