I was not watching at the time because i needed a break, but i did order wm 25. But just now i went online to check out the rumble 09 card. Edge won the wwe title at the rumble. But then he lost it and then won the world title at No Way Out? Who was the wwe champion between the Rumble and No Way Out then? Im so confused.

Triple H won the title at No Way Out, then went on to crap a storm in the main event against Orton. Edge dropped the belt in the opening contest (this match) then attacked Kofi before the WHC chamber and won the belt in the main event.

Edge won the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble, and John Cena was the World Heavyweight Champion. Edge was immediately eliminated from the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out and Triple H won the title. Edge attacked Kofi Kingston before the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, taking his spot and winning the World Title.

It was Edge. He lost the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber. He attacked Kofi Kingston and took his spot in the match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Then he won.

LOL! But did WWE explain how he could enter himself in a championship match?

On another note, it was slightly amusing that Triple H was still technically part of the SD! roster after he won the WWE Title, and during the Orton feud, think Orton even made a rare appearance on the blue show to take out Trips, at times it felt almost RAW exclusive, and this was when the importance of the World Title REALLY began to dwindle.
WWE was mixing up the brand split even those 4 years ago.

After attacking Kofi during his entrance, Edge entered the ring, and locked himself inside one of pods, due to not much other choices, the refs made Edge a competitor in the match.

Thats actually a clever spot for the ultimate opportunist character they gave him. Thanks for clearing that up for me guys. |

Yep. The way that whole angle was handled was actually quite fantastic, and it brought a lot of sympathy to Kofi's character as well. Everything about it just worked. Edge was on fire at the time.
The build for Triple H/Randy Orton was also absolutely brilliant. It's too bad the match was a total dud.

The hype for HHH/Orton was surprisngly good that year. That was the last time I cared for either of them.

Probably the worst built card in Wrestlemania history baring the epic Taker/HBK match up.Some of the worst storylines in memory.From Matt Hardy turning on Jeff Hardy for zero reason and pretty much saying he was the one that burnt down his house,tried to run his car off the road,killed his dog...ect just way to over the top.Then the hole Orton/Triple H feud which started out great with Orton taking out the McMahon and Triple H's wife.Even with their lack of chemistry in the ring I wad really into the feud and looking forward to the match,then cane the HOME INVASION which total killed the hole angle for me.
Looking back at WM XXV the card should have been something like this.
The Undertaker .Vs Shawn Michaels
Edge .Vs Jeff Hardy-WWE Title
John Cena .Vs Randy Orton-World Title
Triple H .Vs JBL
Chris Jericho .Vs Ricky "The Dragon"Steamboat w/ Ric Flair
Money in the Bank
Jack Swagger .Vs Christian-ECW Title
Miz and Morrison .Vs The Colons-WWE Tag Team Titles
Could have even went with a huge match up of John Cena .Vs Jeff Hardy for the WWE Title along with Taker/HBK.That would have been and epic line up.

Matt Hardy as the jealous brother trying to destroy Jeff made a lot more sense than Christian, who would have literally been attacking Jeff all those times for no reason. Or a poor reason like "I did it for da Edge." |

Relating to Edge attacking Kofi, I loved the next year when Kofi made his entrance to the chamber match and kept turning around to make sure he wouldn't be jumped again lol

WM 25 had one of the best RTWMs in recent memory in my opinion. The lackluster-ness of the actual show outside of Taker/HBK was quite the buzzkill considering the great build it had.

Absolutely agree. I'm not sure how anyone could consider it one of the worst. It's just a bummer that the show really didn't deliver outside of a couple matches, because the show felt huge going in. |

I really like that card. Had Jeff not already been champion, he should have won the royal rumble. Orton winning was too predictable. |

I thought the Matt/Jeff match was incredible, including the build and then the amazing finish. After that it dwindled and Matt got injured.
But I really believed Matt could've been a huge player when he beat Jeff.
