In a taped segment, Edge says Randy Orton didn’t live up to his claim of being the better natural wrestler. He says he kept fighting, even when Orton tore his tricep off the bone. Edge says he knew Orton was panicking, which is why he hit Edge below the belt. The Rated R Superstar says he expects to beat Orton, so he’s disappointed that he didn’t see the low blow at WWE Backlash coming. Edge says it won’t happen again and that this match and the injury woke him up; the second Orton punted him and targeted Christian, he brought back the dark side of Edge.
More than just grit…the ANGER, the FIRE and the PASSION is on full display from @EdgeRatedR!

Edge says he doesn’t care about winning a match; he vows to embarrass Orton and make him wish he was never born. The Rated R Superstar says Orton won’t be okay because he knows what’s coming. He says he’ll be screaming louder than all of the voices in Orton’s head. He promises to tear Orton’s life apart. “You have no idea what you’ve done,” Edge says. “You’ve woke up the evil. You woke up the Rated R Superstar.”
"You woke up the side of me that will sink to ANY level to get what he wants."
We haven't seen THIS @EdgeRatedR in a very … long … time. #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/p6zLFz4cmd

Backstage, Orton says, when backed into a corner, a snake will bite. It will strike out blindly, and it will do what it takes to survive. Orton says sometimes he strikes out blindly, but he says he does what he needs to in order to survive. He wishes Edge and Christian speedy recoveries and says they’ll live long, healthy lives as long as they do it far away from him.
Backstage, Nia Jax attacks Charlotte Flair and slams her arm in a storage trunk. Jax mockingly “Woos” and walks away.
