WWE Slam Of The Week – R-Truth sent Ted flying from the ring and went out after him. In the ring Eve hit a neck breaker on Maryse and got the three. After the match a love note came up on the tron, but for whom?

Maryse was tweaking about Eve costing her the Battle Royal. Ted says she lost them the match last week. They argue, but a knot at the door stops them. No one’s there, but a note. She reads it “Next week, you will be mine.” She slams it into his gut and walks off.

Sheamus out to the ring. He poses in the ring and looks a bit stressed. Sheamus gets good heat and says there’s an old tale we might have heard of called the Fiery Red Hand Of Ireland. It’s a great old tale of two princes who tried to lay claim to the throne of Ireland. When no heir could be decided, there was a race. The first prince to lay his hand on the kingdom would become the new King. The race was on and the younger realized he was about to lose, he cut of his hand and threw it. He was badly injured but won the race and kingdom of Ireland. That’s for Orton because he’s willing to cut of his hand to win back his Title. Orton’s underestimated him, so he should go talk to HHH, the master of the HIAC – Sheamus ended his career with his own two hands. When he gets Orton in that cell, he’s going to have the time of his life. Right now, he calls out any WWE Superstar with a set of tires to face him right now. If they do they’ll find out why he’s the future three time WWE Champion, but he’s also the fiery red hand of the WWE.

Edge out to the ring looking really pissed off. He says they have a first, as his guest on the Cutting Edge they have the RAW GM. The fans give no pop and very little heat for this. Edge says despite their acrimonious relationship, he appreciates the GM agreeing to appreciate him being a guest on his show. As he understand it, this computer has been electronically transmitting his voice and it will continue to do to keep this person a secret. Edge asks why the GM is such a spineless coward? The GM asks why Edge is such a moron. If people knew who he was, it would ruin everything. Edge says the voice is terrible, but he thought the GM was Austin, or the Rock or HBK, or Bob Baker. Judging the GM’s decision making, he’s Lindsay Lohan after a bender. This got some reaction. Edge says whoever the GM is, they’re a big, fat liar. The GM says he’s tried to make peace, why does Edge surprise him so? Edge asks why he’s so into his business, then asks why he’s arguing with a computer? They’ve gone from Stone Cold stunning Mr. McMahon to Edge arguing with a computer. Edge says he’s going to go ask Jericho who the GM is. The GM says Jericho’s bluffing, but the GM knows a lot, like Edge opponent right now. Ha, ha, ha. Edge says he doesn’t have an opponent and is sick of talking to an overgrown Speak ‘N Spell. The GM says he scheduled Edge in a match against this man. Out came Cena.

I’m warning you!” Edge pushed the podium over, then grabbed a chair. “Cole, stop him! Cole!” Edge grabs the laptop and breaks it in two, then slams it with a chair a couple times, head butts it, punches it, slams it into his head a couple and punches it some more.
