The backstage EBWF segment started much like any other, live on EBWF.net. Renee Young held an EBWF branded microphone, and stood smiling in the center of the shot.
Renee Young: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rated R Superstar, Edge!
Edge: Thank you, Renee.
Renee Young: Last week, you were scheduled in a triple threat match against The Miz and your tag team partner Randy Orton. Before that match could begin, the Varsity Club attacked the Miz and the match was postponed. Instead, we’ll see that triple threat match tonight. Varsity Club has been banned from ringside.
Edge: I don’t see how any of that was my problem. What Chris Jericho did last week was a farce. It was disrespectful to Randy and me. Miz has drama with his unreliable stablemates every other week. I don’t see why Randy and I should lose our opportunity, when Miz never learns his lesson.
Renee Young: His…lesson?
Edge: Yes, Renee. The Miz gets beat up in his relationships more than Rihanna. Every other week with this. Every partner he’s ever had has turned on him. You think he’d learn by now! So his former team is banned from ringside, and my partner will be right there in the ring with me.
Renee Young: Chris Jericho is expecting a match here tonight. What is the strategy with you and Randy tonight?
Edge: I mean, honestly, Renee? This is going to be an iron man match because is the winner really a winner? The loser is the guy that doesn’t have to come up with something interesting to say about PJ Black, and honestly, that guy sounds like the winner to me!
Renee Young: What do you say to your critics who claim you hang your hat on your former accomplishments and that you have been, well, stagnant in EBWF lately?
Edge: My former accomplishments are pretty great. I did more in three months than Baron Corbin or Matt Sydal will do in the whole careers. It’s yet another example of how you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t in this industry. They get ragged on for being nobodies who have done nothing. I get the same treatment for being too good. I’m not saying people are jealous of my greatness, but people wish they were me. People wish they had the accolades Randy Orton has. Renee, this is easy, Miz is a non factor. Randy and I are going to give the EBWF Fans a real treat and fight to the finish. Then one of us, will listen as PJ Black, ironically, talks about how boring we are, take his title, and go on to face Jimmy Havoc in a blockbuster Summerslam match.
Renee Young: You and Randy will fight to the finish?
Edge: I don’t know why people assume one of us is going to lay down for the other. I mean, it’s only happened like… three other times, but that doesn’t make it the norm.
Renee raised an eyebrow.
Edge: Fine… fine… I’ll tell you what. I’ll rip the cover off the announce table and try to put Randy through it, continuing his decade long battle with the unbreakable announce table, and he’ll get so righteously pissed at an inanimate object that when he gets in the ring, undoubtedly worried about how relentlessly his wife is going to nag him for trying to go through a table… that’s when I’ll spear him and get the win. Just when he’s looking up at the lights, thinking about how he wants to go anywhere but home. Then I’ll probably laugh at ‘im.
He shrugged.
Edge: Now Renee, if you’ll excuse me. There’s a pre-match pizza with my name on it.
Edge walked out of the frame.
Renee Young: There you have it. Can Miz overcome these odds and defeat Rated RKO tonight?
The scene faded.
