Edge Celebrates 25th Anniversary Of His First WWE Televised Match

Before becoming a Tag Team Champion with Christian and a main eventer with multiple World Heavyweight Title reigns, a young Adam Copeland stepped into the ring on June 16th, 1998, to make his WWE televised debut.

Edge scored a quick win over Jose Estrada on the June 22nd episode of Raw. The WWE Hall of Famer took to Twitter to look back on the moment: 

“25 years ago today was my first match as Edge on television. Millions of miles, millions of faces, amazing experiences, lots of injuries, accomplishments that didn’t even exist when I started, but way more laughs than anything else. Having a second chance to do this has filled me with gratitude. I’ve had an opportunity to get in the ring with a whole new generation of amazing talent and introduce Edge to a whole new generation of fans. That alone makes it a win. I’ve been able to make a living doing the only job I ever dreamed of. I know how rare that is. Thanks for watching Edge all these years.”
