Randy Orton strikes his former Rated-RKO partner Edge.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – With an entirely new constellation of Superstar draftees moving into its orbit, the Raw roster promised to be an altered universe. As if to punctuate that point, former SmackDown Superstar Chris Jericho devestated the Unified Tag Team Champions with the help of an unlikely ally and Edge nearly laid waste to a former friend before feeling the pain of angry fangs.

Edge’s first order of business upon opening his talk show, “The Cutting Edge,” was to explain why he Speared Randy Orton last week during the No. 1 Contender’s Triple Threat Match. He told the audience that he wanted to make Raw his show, just like he had done with SmackDown. Good start.

The Rated-R Superstar then introduced Raw’s special guest host Wayne Brady, who discussed his game show Let’s Make a Deal and his new stage show in Las Vegas. Before the segment ended, Orton interrupted. The Viper slithered into the ring and leveled Brady with an RKO. He then listened as The Ultimate Opportunist tried to talk him into reforming their dominating partnership, Rated-RKO. When Orton appeared indifferent, Edge became irate.

Tensions flared and Orton tried to capitalize with an RKO. Edge fought him off and set up for a Spear, but The Viper quickly struck, leaving his former tag team partner on the canvas in the wake of a vengeful RKO.


WWE Champion John Cena def. Wade Barrett

Batista had arranged for WWE Champion John Cena to compete against Chris Jericho in a Beat the Clock Challenge. After witnessing how The Miz handled his earlier scheduled match with Batista, Jericho hewed close to that route. Instead of a doctor's note, the self-important Superstar claimed the match would be a waste of his time and recruited his NXT Rookie Wade Barrett to tackle the challenge of The Champ.

While Barrett proved a worthy competitor, Cena managed to defeat him seconds shy of Batista’s posted time, allowing The Champ to name the championship match stipulation. Before he could, however, Sheamus thundered into the ring and attacked, leaving Cena flat on the mat.
