The Steel Cage

I hope everyone had a happy, healthy and safe Fourth of July weekend.

Now, to last week's trivia question, which I did NOT phrase well, so here's BOTH answers. The last time Triple H won the WWE or World Title in a match in which Randy Orton was not IN THE MATCH was December 2003. The last time Triple H won the title in a match that in no way involved Orton was December 2002. Either way, if you said a really long time ago, and in the month of December, you win!

Today's question involves Edge, who was a big player in the Fourth of July episode of SmackDown this past Friday. Well, the last time Edge was on an episode of SmackDown that aired on the Fourth of July, he had a pretty memorable moment as well. What happened then?

Before I get to the trivia, I must give major props to my fellow blogger Alfonso -- on Monday, the very day that Alfonso scored an exclusive interview with the infamous Martin Tankleff -- he posted not just one, but two blog posts about CM Punk winning the World Title. Now THAT'S a wresting fan.

Anyway, on to my trivia question -- when was the last time Triple H won a world title (World or WWE) in a match that did not involve Randy Orton?

I asked readers yesterday, who is the only man ever to have won a world title match at three consecutive WrestleManias.

A lot of you may have instantly had red and yellow flashing in your mind, but it's not the Hulkster. Hulk Hogan collectively won five world title matches at WrestleManias, but never more than two back to back (at Manias 2 and III.)

Steve Austin similarly won world title matches at WrestleManias XIV and XV, but took a year off before winning his third WrestleMania title match in 2001.

Triple H, too, has three Mania world title wins under his belt, but only two in a row. (WrestleMania X8 and XIX.)

So who's the only man to three-peat in world title matches at the biggest show of the year?

It's the same man who's looking to extend his record to four next Sunday: John Cena, who beat JBL for his first world title at WrestleMania 21, and then made Triple H and Shawn Michaels, respectively, tap out in the main event the next two years.

It's the biggest match on the biggest wrestling show of the year - the WrestleMania world title match.

Since the inception of WrestleMania nearly a quarter century ago, some 29 world title matches have taken place on the grandest stage of pro wrestling.

But only one man has won a world title match at three consecutive WrestleManias. Who was it?

Be by tomorrow for the answer.
