On the April 22 episode of "SmackDown", Edge interrupted Alberto Del Rio's mock retirement party for him. At Extreme Rules, Edge helped his friend Christian to win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. At SummerSlam, Edge was in Christian's corner for his World Heavyweight Championship defense against Randy Orton but, disappointed by the cowardly tactics Christian used to win his second World Heavyweight Championship, berated him and walked out on him. Christian then lost the title to Orton for a second time. On the September 16 episode of "SmackDown", in his hometown of Toronto, Edge hosted "The Cutting Edge" between Mark Henry and the World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton. After the show went off the air, they held "Edge Appreciation Night" to celebrate his career.
