Edge & Christian (also known as E&C) were a famous Canadian professional wrestling tag team. They are best known for their time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which later became WWE. They won the WWF Tag Team Championship seven times.

At first, they were shown on TV as brothers. However, in 2010, this story was changed, and they were officially said to be childhood friends. The team broke up in 2001 but got back together for a short time in 2011. Edge had to retire from wrestling in 2011 because of a neck injury, which ended their last run together. Edge returned to wrestling in 2020, and Christian returned in 2021. Both were surprise entrants in the 2021 Royal Rumble match. Soon after, Christian left WWE for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), using the name Christian Cage. Edge then joined AEW in 2023, using his real name Adam Copeland.

Besides their seven tag team titles, both Edge and Christian also won single titles during their time as a team. They are also famous for being in the first three Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches (TLC matches). They often used steel chairs as weapons. They created a move called the "con-chair-to." This move involved both Edge and Christian hitting a wrestler with chairs at the same time. They are seen as one of the most important teams that helped make tag team wrestling popular again during the Attitude Era. In 2012, WWE called them the greatest tag team in WWE history. Their popularity helped both Edge and Christian become successful individual wrestlers, with both winning multiple world championships.
