Edge and Khristian (E&K) was a tag team made of real life best friends Edge (Adam Copeland) and Khristian, who wrestled in the International Wrestling Federation and the Canadian independent circuit. They won the IWF 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 Fusion 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 world champions in their own right.
