The Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression period of wrestling were the wildest ever seen in the history of wrestling. There have been countless bizarre things that were allowed to go on TV. From Mae Young giving ‘birth’ to a hand to Vince McMahon wrestling his own daughter. But when coming to most adult segments, nothing takes the cake but the infamous RAW segment between Edge and Lita.
At the time, the two were in a relationship, both in real life and kayfabe. So, WWE took it upon itself to put them in the most adult situations on TV to garner ratings and miraculously, it worked. But in hindsight, the segment has not aged well and Edge agrees wholeheartedly.

Sitting down with Logan Paul for his podcast series, which has seen a lot of WWE stars, ImPaulsive, Edge talked about the past, present, and future of his wrestling career. One of the biggest moments in his early career was when the Rated R superstar cashed in the first-ever Money in the Bank briefcase to win the WWE Championship in 2006. To celebrate this massive win, Edge and Lita had their infamous segment the next night on RAW.
When Mike Majlak, Paul’s co-host brought up the infamous segment, Edge sighed and said, “The live s*x celebration. The night after I won the title for the first time, that was brought to me. We don’t wanna do that but these things live forever. But now, where I’m at, I’m a full-on Dad and I’m like my gosh.”

At the time, Edge and Lita were the hottest things in WWE at the moment. McMahon was open to showing couples and making adult innuendoes as it brought ratings. This scene would cement both Edge and Lita as one of the most Rated-R couples in the history of wrestling. While there has been more explicit wrestling content, no one was gutsy enough to do it live on RAW.
