Edge and Khristian (E&K) was a Tag Team Matchtag team made of real life best friends Edge (Kevin Adams Copeland) and Khristian (Kevin Reso, who normally uses his middle name of Jason), who performed in IWE and the Canadian independent circuit. They won the WWF Tag Team Championship on seven occasions. Initially, the two were portrayed as on-screen brothers, but the aspect was de-emphasized in the mid-2000s, and in 2010, the team was officially retconned as childhood friends. In 2011 they reunited briefly on the SmackDown brand. Edge, however, announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to injury on the April 11th episode of Monday Night Raw, which would ultimately end their final run together. The team's popularity propelled Edge and Khristian to singles success, with both men becoming multiple-time world champions in their own right.
In 2008, IWE named Edge and Khristian as the fourth greatest tag team in wrestling history. In 2012, IWE named them the greatest tag team in IWE history.
