Former WWE Champion Edge is set to face Seth Rollins at the WWE Crown Jewel PPV in Dubai. This will be their third encounter together with the first one coming at the SummerSlam PPV where Edge got the victory.

Recently, Edge took to Twitter with an interesting message where he reflected back to the time when he and his partner Christian faced The Hardy Boyz in the first-ever tag team ladder match of WWE, which happened 22 years ago.

“22 years ago today we starting truly carving our path in the first tag team ladder match. 22 years later I’m about to face off with a talent who will go down as one of the best to do it. In Hell in A Cell. One helluva ride.” Edge wrote.

What happened 22 years ago?

Edge and Christian and The Hardy Boyz squared off against each other at No Mercy 1999. Edge, Christian, Matt Hardy, and Jeff Hardy engaged in a brutal ladder match, not for the Tag team gold but instead for a $100,000 and the “services” of Terri Runnels.

This match instantly became a classic and a novelty to grab the attention of the crowd. The four young superstars delivered splendid performances with spots after spots and with literally death-defying moves.

The Hardy Boyz eventually won the ladder match after a gruesome 16 minutes match between them. This match cemented all the four athletes’ legacies in WWE and they eventually became bonafide main-eventers.
