The Rated-R Superstar brought the WWE Championship back to WWE when he defeated John Cena and Rob Van Dam in a Triple Threat match on Raw from the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. John Cena was able to hit RVD with an Attitude Adjustment, but before he could make the cover, Edge came from out of nowhere and leveled Cena with the title. With both men already knocked out, Edge covered RVD and stole the WWE Championship from Cena.
