600th SmackDown episode sees Edge capture the gold for 11th time
Edge celebrated the 600th episode of SmackDown by winning back the World Heavyweight Championship.
The Rated-R Superstar won his 11th World Championship when General Manager Teddy Long returned to SmackDown after his mysterious attack in January.
Kicking off SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero highlighted Edge's illegal use of the Spear last week and then declared Dolph Ziggler, not Edge, the true World Heavyweight Champion.
Then, after saying there would be a Championship Coronation for her boyfriend later in the night, she fired The Rated-R Superstar!
With Teddy Long out of the picture after being attacked last month, Vickie and Dolph thought they had the perfect plan to wrest the World Title from Edge.
Spear
After Edge used the Spear last week against Ziggler, Vickie declared that he was no longer the true champion because she deemed the move illegal.
But just as their grand plan was about to take shape, Teddy Long made a surprise appearance, which shocked both Vickie and Dolph.
As Teddy questioned the true identity of his attacker, Vickie eventually revealed it was Ziggler who attacked him back in January. And as the two lovers quarrelled, Teddy rehired Edge and arranged for him to face Ziggler for the World Title.
With the World Title technically vacant, The Ultimate Opportunist went on to claim his 11th World Title by dropping Ziggler with a crushing Spear.
After the match, Teddy Long said good riddance to Ziggler by firing him. To cap off the historic night, The Rated-R Superstar added insult to injury by leading the fans in attendance into gleefully singing about Dolph's departure.
After all was said and done, there was no question that Edge was the true World Heavyweight Champion on the historic 600th episode of SmackDown just hours before the SmackDown Elimination Chamber Match.
