We are back and next week’s guest host is Flavor Flav.
It is time for the Cutting Edge hosted by Edge. Edge says like it or not, the most controversial superstar in the history of the WWE is back on Raw. Edge says that everyone probably wants an explanation of why he did what he did to Randy Orton last week, but they don’t deserve one. Edge says that he will give them an explanation but he enjoys pulling at their heartstrings.
Edge goes back to his return at the Royal Rumble to be the white light on Smackdown. He was in the right position to beat Jack Swagger, but last week, Ted DiBiase wins a battle royal and then he is drafted to Raw. All of the plans go up in smoke.

Edge says that he knows that it can happen again, but bigger and better. Edge says that Cena and Batista are going to beat the pulp out of each other at Over the Limit, but they can swoop in and be the two man power trip. Edge asks Orton who can stop them. Edge wants to know if the idea appeals to him or is Orton too big of a superstar to share the spotlight. Edge says that he did not plan to spear Orton, but he was glad that he did it. Edge says that he did everything he was supposed to do. He came back from injury, did a commercial, and came up with a catchphrase for the fans. However, the fans did not fully accept him. Orton is a man who cares about no one but himself, but the people get behind him and support him. They chant RKO but Edge says that he doesn’t get it. Edge says that it isn’t fair. Edge says that it isn’t fair that he isn’t the World Champion. Edge says that it isn’t fair that he was drafted to Raw because of a battle royal. Edge tells Orton that he will listen to him because the spear was the tip of the iceberg and he will spear Orton until Randy is an afterthought. Edge wants to know if it is registering in his head. Edge wants Orton to say something. Orton tries for an RKO and Edge with a boot and then he sets for the spear but Orton gets up and hits an RKO as Edge tries for the spear.
We go to credits without Orton saying anything.
