Formation
For Angle's first few months in the WWF, he went on an "unbeaten streak". While he lost half of his matches, he has never been successfully pinned. The streak was officially ended by Big Show in April 2000. At this point, Angle went on a losing streak, in which most of his matches ended after Angle himself was pinned. He formed an alliance with the Tag Team Champions, Edge & Christian.
From then on, the team members would frequently help each other to win matches or even team together. The team spent much of their time helping Kurt reach the WWF Heavyweight Title. In early 2001, Rhyno became Edge & Christian's bodyguard. While Rhyno focused mainly on his own singles career, he frequently attacked rivals of Edge & Christian, helping them to win matches. Rhyno had little interaction with Kurt, but did swear loyalty to Angle during their first on-screen encounter.
Edge & Christian were once in a faction with Rhyno and Joe E. Legend before signing with WWF/E. Legend would also later sign with WWF, but would not align with any members of Team RECK.
