Back to World Heavyweight Championship
They don’t call him The Ultimate Opportunist for nothing. After being fired by “acting” SmackDown general manger Vickie Guerrero, Edge’s hopes looked bleak for regaining the World Heavyweight Championship, or even stepping foot in a WWE ring. That was until SmackDown general manager Theodore Long returned to duty, rehired Edge, and arranged for a World Heavyweight Championship match with Dolph Ziggler. After Edge claimed his eleventh world title with a spear, Long added insult to injury by firing Ziggler.
