Toronto-area wrestlers gained one championship and lost another Sunday at Unforgiven, World Wrestling Entertainment's September pay-per-view.

Stratus, who officially retired after Unforgiven, defeated arch-rival Lita to claim the WWE Women's Championship. The 30-year-old tearfully waved to the sold-out Air Canada Centre crowd after she captured the title for a record seventh time.

Stratus, who is set to be married Sept. 30, subdued Lita using the Sharpshooter, a submission manoeuvre made famous by Calgary native and WWE Hall of Fame grappler Bret (Hitman) Hart.

The match began with chants of ``Thank You Trish!'' and ended with Stratus embracing ring announcer and close friend Lillian Garcia before leaving to a standing ovation.

Edge wasn't as fortunate, losing his WWE Championship to John Cena in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Cena ended the high-impact match by hitting Edge with his signature move _ a fireman's carry takeover _ from atop a ladder, dropping the Orangeville, Ont., native through a pair of tables.

The match featured a number of dangerous spots, including Edge running up a ladder, over the top turnbuckle and onto a prone Cena, who was recovering outside the ring.

Edge, who usually draws boos from WWE fans, was cheered raucously throughout the 30-minute match, while Cena was heckled and jeered right from his ring entrance.

The loss ended Edge's two-and-a-half-month title run, his second as WWE champion. After being attended to for several minutes, he left the ring slowly, waving and saluting fans on the way out.

Another highlight was a gruesome Hell in a Cell match that pitted D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) against ECW champion Big Show, WWE chairman Vince McMahon and his son, Shane.

Vince, who has no trouble handling in-ring work and running the company, generated plenty of heat from the Toronto crowd during an early vignette.

When told by Shane that perhaps the seven-foot, 500-pound Big Show should carry the load, Vince responded by saying he wasn't like the country of Canada, ``that relies on its allies to do all the work.''

The boos rained down on the trio as they entered the ring and the seven-metre tall cage was lowered from the rafters. Triple H _ who happens to be Vince's real-life son-in-law _ and Michaels got a huge ovation when they came down the aisle to settle the simmering feud once and for all.

It didn't take long for the blood to start flowing.

Both Vince and Shane were cut open in the first minute, with Triple H gleefully raking the elder McMahon's face across the steel cage. Shane's white ``Shane-O-Mac'' T-shirt was a crimson mess after he was whipped into the side of the cage by the veteran Michaels.

Before long, all five were busted open, with each punch sending a spray of sweat and blood into the air. There were some memorable spots throughout the match. Shane connected on a drop-kick from across the ring that left Triple H with a gash near his left ear. Michaels used a steel chair to help rock Shane with a punishing elbow drop, shortly before Vince was rocked with a sledgehammer by Triple H that led to a pinfall.

In the opening match, Intercontinental champion Johnny Nitro defeated Jeff Hardy. A couple of super-heavyweights followed as Kane and Umaga battled to a double-countout. The Spirit Squad successfully defended the tag-team titles with a victory over The Highlanders while Randy Orton defeated Carlito in a battle of second-generation stars.

Notes: The next WWE pay-per-view card, No Mercy, goes Oct. 8 in Raleigh, N.C. ... The next confirmed pay-per-view in Canada is scheduled for Nov. 25, 2007, when Survivor Series returns to Montreal. The event will mark the 10th anniversary of the ``Montreal Screw Job'', when chairman Vince McMahon caused Hart to lose his WWF heavyweight title to Michaels in an unscripted finish.
