The music of Edge hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring with Lita on his arm, and he is set for his shot at the Intercontinental Championship against Ric Flair!

Flair hammered away with right hands to the head of Edge and then chased Lita on the outside but she led him right into a clothesline from Edge on the outside.
