Edge spoke about his WWE Championship match with John Cena at the 2006 Royal Rumble on an episode of WWE Untold. The Rater R Superstar stated that he was furious after he lost the WWE Championship to Cena at the PPV.

Though Edge believed he had worked hard and deserved a long reign with the WWE Championship, he lost the title just weeks after winning it via an MITB cash-in.

Edge also spoke about his hardcore match against Mick Foley at WrestleMania 22 which took place soon after he lost the WWE Championship to John Cena:

“That [losing to John Cena] made me mad because I felt like I was doing everything I could on my end and I was very motivated, and then in talking to Mick Foley I realized that he was just as motivated to get that moment and to help me, to help me solidify myself as a main-event player here, to help me change the perception in the fans’ eyes.”

So much when into this match. There’s a lot to tell. We were all out to prove ourselves. And that’s a dangerous combination with the people involved. Streaming now on @peacockTV & @WWENetwork it’s Edge vs Foley #Untold pic.twitter.com/yoQ0URJ1cJ
