In-Ring: Edge

WWE SmackDown kicks off with Edge walking down to the ring. He sits on a chair in the ring and says this entire thing with Seth started 7 years ago when Seth tried using him as a stepping stone.

Edge shows up to SmackDown and Seth goes to Edge’s home.

The fans chant Seth you suck. Edge says he can go to Seth’s house and have an encounter with Becky but he won’t do that.

A few weeks ago Seth said he felt sorry for him and that was a mistake. You never feel sympathy for a devil and that’s what they are. Edge says he won’t hesitate to put Seth down and he will not have a second thought about it. And their story ends at Hell in a Cell. He tells Seth he knows he is watching and he wants him to listen closely. Edge tells him at Hell in a Cell, he is going to scar his soul and that is a scar that you never heal from.
