It's kind of depressing to think how long Edge's title reign could've been if he hadn't gotten injured. Even back when Edge won the World Title in May, a lot of people thought there'd be an Edge/Taker title match at Wrestlemania. But I can't really imagine how they would have stretched it out until 'Mania. They probably could have had Rey or Batista win the belt in a Triple Threat Match( since 'Tista couldn't get any more 1 on 1 shots), and then do what they did, with Edge winning it at Armageddon.
Additionally, even if he didn't lose the belt to somebody else, Taker returned in September. Considering Edge was his #1 target after Mark Henry, how could they have stretched the feud six months? I think it's a possibility he could have lost the belt to Taker at Survivor Series or sometime like that.
Just for kicks, I decided to think up the best way he could have held the title for all that time..
Great American Bash- defeated Kane No doubt he would have gotten by Kane. This was already set up.
SummerSlam- defeated Rey Mysterio This was Rey's first match back, & so he gets a World Title shot for his hot return. Chavo Guerrero interferes and helps Edge pin Rey with a spear after shoving him away from the 619.
Unforgiven- defeated Rey Mysterio & Chavo Guerrero in a Triple Threat Match This match as a result of what happened at SS. Rey hits the 619 and Seated Senton on Chavo, but Edge hurls him over his head and him out of the ring during the cover and steals the pin.
No Mercy- defeated Matt Hardy Because MVP doesn't want to defend his U.S. Title against Matt, he helps Hardy earn a shot at the World Title for NM. He legitimately tries helping Hardy win, but ends up screwing him by accident.
Cyber Sunday- defeated Hornswoggle. A few weeks before Cyber Sunday, the relationship between Edge & Vickie is exposed. Vickie sets up a Title match for the interactive PPV with the fans' choices being: Hornswoggle, Funaki, & Jamie Noble.
Survivor Series- defeated The Undertaker After being back for two months, Undertaker wants revenge against Edge for what happened in May and demands a title shot, so he hostily threatens Vickie until she gives in. This match is the final bout on the card, and ends when Edge puts Taker into a submission hold and the ref immediately calls for the bell, a re-enactment of the Montreal Screwjob exactly 10 years later.
Armageddon- defeated Batista & Undertaker in a Triple Threat Match Vickie is injured by Undertaker, so Teddy Long makes this match, citing that Batista losing his Last Chance Match at Vengeance only counted for 1 on 1 matches. The match ends exactly the same way it did in real life, with the Edgeheads debuting and swapping places with Edge in order for him to screw Taker again and steal the pin on Batista.
Royal Rumble( 2008)- defeated The Great Khali by DQ. Chavo returns in between Armageddon, and ends up siding with Edge, just like what really happened. Edge helps Chavo win the ECW Title, so CM Punk interferes in this match and attacks Edge, giving him the DQ win over Khali. Edge ends up getting Punk eliminated from the Rumble later on. The match itself happens because Khali won a #1 Contenders Match at Armageddon, which was set up by Teddy Long.
No Way Out- defeated CM Punk Because of what happened above, Punk gets a title shot at NWO. Match ends like how the Rey/Edge actual match at the Rumble ended, with Punk hitting the GTS, Vickie pulls the ref out. Punk stares her down, goes for his springboard clothesline but gets speared in mid-air.
