[ Trish Stratus ] ..Idiot.

[ Edge ] Yeah.. Whatever.. Enough about him..

-[[ This seems to surprise the others.. ]]-

[ Edge ] He's not here... I am.

-[[ He smiles.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Christian's my brother.. I love him.. But there's a bigger matter at hand.. And that matter is Randy Orton claiming he's going to end my life to make some kind of example.. And quite frankly, that's just not going to happen..

[ Trish Stratus ] We're there for you.. Just tell us what we need to do.

[ Edge ] That's simple.. Stay out of it.

[ Trish Stratus ] But..

[ Edge ] But nothing.. This is between Randy Orton and myself.. And because of what he did to Christian, I'm taking him out alone.. He doesn't have back-up anymore.. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin saw to that.. It's just two men doing battle for something they believe in.. He believes in killing legends.....

-[[ His smile grows wider.. ]]-

[ Edge ] ..Great.

-[[ His eyes darken.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Because I believe in killing careers.

-[[ He laughs out loud.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Believe me, I should know.. I've killed enough of them!

-[[ Silence from the Christian Coalition.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Orton says this isn't for Jarrett, it's for him.. Well, this IS for Christian.. But in that same vein....... It's for me.. It's for ME! ME! ME! And nothing is going to stop me from killing.. The Legend.. Killer!!

[ Edge ] Thank me later, baby brother.
