He says he does know that WrestleMania is not the end for Edge. If we saw RAW last week like he did, we all saw the promo video where it said The Rated R Superstar was coming to hunt The Viper.

It is true that the better man won at WrestleMania, but the better wrestler didn't.

Then at WrestleMania he fought Orton in a match Edge chose, a Last Man Standing match. Orton goes on about how brutal that match was and says it didn't take him 9 years to get back on his feet like it did Edge.

Orton says 9 years, almost a decade. That's a long time. Orton says those two matches aren't traditional wrestling matches so if you ask him, it's been since 2011 since Edge laced up his boots and actually wrestled. Orton doesn't think Edge has it in him anymore. Edge stares Orton down. Orton says he knows that look – there is doubt in Edge's eyes. Orton goes on and says Edge's passion won't knock off his ring rust. That passion and grit won't help Edge now. Orton goes on about the story writing itself, wondering if Edge has the guts... the guts to face him at Backlash in a straight up wrestling match. They're face-to-face staring each other down now. Charly approaches and asks Edge if he has a response. Edge looks down and then back at Orton. Charly says if this does happen it just might be the greatest wrestling match ever. Edge is still silent. Orton is still staring at Edge while Edge looks off to the side of Orton. RAW goes off the air.
