World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho def. Edge

PHOENIX -- Veteran ring skills (55 titles combined). The will to win. Bitter anger.

World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho and Edge brought everything to their very personal war in front of more than 72,000 members of the WWE Universe inside the University of Phoenix Stadium. And finally -- after weeks of hostile posturing -- it was Jericho who reigned supreme and walked away with his World Title. (Photos)

After the match, an enraged Ultimate Opportunist brutally Speared Jericho from atop the announce table and through the ringside barricade.

Clearly, we haven't seen the last of Edge's fight to regain the World Title.

Once close allies, these former tag team partners hit a major crossroads last July when Edge suffered a potentially career-ending Achilles injury. (Story | Surgery photos)

But in January at Royal Rumble, The Ultimate Opportunist shocked the entire WWE Universe by returning to WWE to win the Royal Rumble Match. (Story | Photos 1 | Photos 2)

Not to be outdone -- a month later inside the Elimination Chamber -- Jericho pulled off a stunning win over The Undertaker, thanks to some help from Shawn Michaels. (Story | Photos)

With both Superstars full of momentum, the WWE Universe knew it would witness a stellar battle at WrestleMania. Neither Superstar disappointed.

However, now that Edge could not win Jericho's title, how can he possibly live with himself? If there was bitter anger before, things are sure to get downright ugly now.

Tune in to SmackDown this Friday at 8/7 CT to find out if these massive egos can possibly co-exist on the same roster.
