RAW opened up with a special video package looking at Edge’s run as the WWE Champion, sort of like a movie preview. This Sunday at the Royal Rumble prepare to be taken to the Edge!

In the arena:

The music of WWE Champion Edge hit in the arena as he and Lita made their way to the ring. Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and Coach welcomed us to the show and tonight Edge will face John Cena, both with partners of their own choice. Lita went to speak but then coughed her guts up. She said coming soon, to a WrestleMania near you, the Rated R Superstar, the new WWE Champion, Edge! Edge took the mic and said we saw the trailer, but the feature attraction comes at WrestleMania, and he will be the champion, a real champion, because he has proved all of his doubters wrong. He said he is ratings, and he deserves that championship. He said he isn’t going to be some kind of transitional champion like the Iron Sheik or Mick Foley, guys who won the title, lost it a week later never to be heard from again. He said he isn’t going to lose it sixteen times like Ric Flair, and he isn’t going to become a walking joke like Ric Flair. He said then again, Ric’s not exactly walking right now is he? The fans chanted for Flair but Edge said Flair can barely move after what he did to him last week. He said he is proud to say that Ric Flair will not be here tonight! Edge said that not only will he not be here, but he will never receive another title match again. Edge said he beat Flair last week so he goes to the back of the line, but don’t worry, because pretty soon you’re going to have some company at the back of the line. The fans chanted more for Flair and Edge said John Cena will be joining Flair at the back of the line. Edge said Cena, after he cashes in his re-match, and he loses, his career is going straight in the toilet, and all of the people will have to hitch themselves to a new bandwagon, to a new over rated, untalented piece of crap like him. Edge said then he and Lita, they are going to go back to his house, the mirrors on the ceiling, spinning hydraulic bed, and have a celebration…the music of John Cena then hit!

Cena made his way out to the stage with a mic in hand. Cena said do you realized what just happened, this is big. He congratulated Edge. That movie trailer was awesome, very good, well done. But what the people don’t know is that the actual movie is unbelievable. He said he will give everyone a review of “To The Edge” right here. He said this is a classic. Boy meets hoe. She’s not just a regular hoe, she’s a magical red-headed hoe. She changes the boys life and he wins money in the bank and the WWE Title. The boy has it all, and wants to make his hoe happy. She needs food he gets her potatoes from IdaHO, he traces her heritage and finds out she is half NavaHO. The boy and the ho have it all. He said the boy is on top, and the boy goes to Miami, the Royal Rumble. The single biggest moment in the boys professional career, the lights, the world, everyone is watching, and he stands in the middle of the ring and proceeds to take the worst ass kicking of his life. It’s bad, it’s real bad. He it gets worse. The boy loses the WWE Title, he loses his main event spot, and he loses his hoe. Turns out she goes and falls in love with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. “HOOOOOOOOOOOO!” One day the boy goes from being Rated R to Rated G, G like gold which the boy never sees again, and G for Gonorrhoea that the ho left behind! Lita took the mic and said she doesn’t know who this hoe is that he’s referring to, but what she does know, is that he and Edge have to find partners tonight, and the champ isn’t going to have a hard time finding one, but if Cena is having trouble finding someone to play with, then he might just have to go play with himself. Cena said that was good, it’s finally good see something of substance coming OUT of her mouth. Cena said that tonight, these people are going to get a preview of what is going to happen at the Rumble. Ain’t no money in the bank, sex on TV or movie trailers that are going to change the fact that he’s standing next to a bitch, and this Sunday at the Rumble, he’s going to make him his!

Show stood up and weighed up his options, and said hell no, especially what he did to Flair last week. Show said Edge is lucky that he doesn’t beat his ass right now, and the reason he isn’t is because he wants to win the Rumble and make it to WrestleMania to face the champion. As far as Edge and Lita, there’s an old saying that holds true, pimps up, ho’s down!

Lawler then got on the mic and asked who died and made him the King. Lawler asked who did he ever beat to get in the Rumble, so why should he be in it? Lawler then asked the people they wanted the Coach in the Rumble? The booed. Lawler said what the Rumble needs is a little royalty. Coach said he called it first, and then Lawler said he has a little idea, and why don’t they have a little qualifying match to see who gets in the Rumble? Coach said that isn’t going to happen.

McMahon said he’s going to spend some of that money he’s accumulated, and he intends on spending it on himself and having a good time. He said he’s going to turn this business back some thirty years, back to when he epitomized this business. Back to the all night parties, and he’s starting again tonight.
