Backstage: Randy Orton

Charly Caruso asks Randy Orton how he’s preparing to live up to expectations. Orton says he’s just wondering if Edge will be the only guest on the Peep Show. She says Edge will be. Orton says that’s good. She asks him what that means. Orton says there could be two guests on the Peep Show.

The Peep Show With Special Guest Edge

Christian makes his entrance and looks happy to be there. He introduces Edge to the ring. They embrace. Christian says he was so happy to see Edge return, but he thinks he’s running on fumes at this point. Edge thinks about it. Christian doesn’t think Edge could pull off the greatest wrestling match ever in his prime. They’re best friends and have to be brutally honest with each other. Those are some lofty expectations. If Edge thinks he can live up to that, he’s lying to himself. Edge is starting to buckle and can’t handle the pressure.

Edge tells him to pump the brakes. Has Christian ever thought what it’s like to be in his shoes? Has Christian ever thought about what he’s going through having a straight up wrestling match for the first time in nine years? Now it has to be the greatest wrestling match ever? That’s like being at the bottom of Mt. Everest with no gear and crew and being told to climb. This isn’t the same Edge that would look Christian in the eye and give him the confidence because he was nervous before all their tag matches. Pardon him if this Edge is nervous about facing Randy Orton, who has been here for nine years firing on all cylinders. Edge doesn’t know how many cylinders he has. Christian says all he’s hearing is excuses. Did Edge think he’d come back and just do the greatest hits? Spear, smile, go home? What happened to Edge? Where’s the belief? Christian knows someone who used to believe in Edge more than anyone. Edge’s mom. She was there for all the big matches. If Edge doesn’t think she’ll be sitting there for this one, she will be. Christian calls him Adam and says if Edge isn’t showing up at Backlash, he can step through the ropes and go home right now. Edge looks super emotional as he looks at Christian.

Christian says that’s what he was looking for. Christian says they believe in him. They saw something at WrestleMania. When he locked Orton in that submission, he put him down. Edge has the anti-venom. Christian says they think Edge is as good now as he’s ever been. They believe he can have the greatest wrestling match ever.

Randy Orton appears on the screen and tells them to shut their mouths. If he has to listen to anymore of these words, he’s going to be sick to his stomach. Edge made one guarantee for this match at Backlash. Edge said he’d try. That’s pathetic to Orton. The expectations on this match are astronomical. What will Edge do when he doesn’t live up to those expectations. Orton will embarrass and humiliate Edge. He’ll take away all his grit until he’s a broken man sent back home to Beth and his beautiful daughters Ruby and Lyric. This Sunday at Backlash, the redemption of Edge is over.

Edge looks absolutely pumped up. Edge simply says, “No it’s not.” Edge throws down the microphone and walks off. Before he walks off to the back, he turns back to Christian and nods.
