Royal Rumble 2006 Moment; Cena def. Edge for the Gold

Hey guys, here's another Royal Rumble Moment from 3 years ago:

Edge loses the WWE Heavyweight Title @ Royal Rumble XIX after 3 weeks

Here's what happend:

Backstage, WWE Heavyweight Champion Edge confronts Rey Mysterio and tells him he has no chance of jumping to RAW and beating him for the WWE Title like his buddy Chris Benoit did a few years ago.

A highlight package runs showing the events between Edge and John Cena for the WWE Heavyweight Championship. The package starts back at last year's WrestleMania when Edge won the "Money in the Bank" Match and then how he cashed it in at the New Year's Revolution PPV defeating John Cena to capture the title.

John Cena's entrance saw him come out on a large stage that hovered above the entrance area and lead into the ring. It was a pretty impressive entrance.
