The match is considered one of the best Tag-Team matches in WWE history and was filled with memorable moments. One of the most incredible moments from the match was when Edge speared Jeff Hardy 12 feet above the ground.

Recently, Edge remembered the moment and said the match came to define the first chapter of his career. He also added that the Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36 against Randy Orton will be the second chapter of his long career.

All the three teams got a chance to shine, but a spear from Edge changed the course of the match. In the latter part of the match, Jeff Hardy climbed the ladder and began unhooking the belts, but Bubba Ray pulled the ladder from beneath him leaving him hanging in the air. This allowed Edge to jump off another ladder and spear Jeff to the ground at a height of 12 feet. Soon after, Edge’s partner Christian unhooked the belts and won the match.
