A limo is shown pulling up to the arena, and out came Edge, the Rated R Superstar and WWE Champion! Lita ran up to him and went to kiss him, but he said to save it for the live sex celebration, and they are going to celebrated like only the Rated R Superstar knows how!
A bed is set up in the ring as the new WWE Champion, Edge, made his way to the ring with Lita for this live sex celebration! Coach, hand me a Kleenex Jerry Lawler. Edge got on the mic and said The Champ is Here! He repeated it and the crowd booed. Edge said the best part is, none of the people saw it coming. All of the people who like to think they can predict what can happen in the ring, he outsmarted all of them. In the most unpredictable move in the history of the business, he cashed in his Money in the Bank after the Elimination Chamber. He fooled them all, including the former WWE Champion John Cena. He said they just about killed themselves in the Chamber last night, and why bother. In this industry, you dont have to be the biggest, the strongest or the toughest, but you do have to be the smartest. He said he saw his opportunity, he bided his time, just like he was with his lovely lady, Lita. He said he saw what he wanted, and like a thief in the night, he saw what he wanted, and took everything he wanted. He said last night he took what he wanted most, more than anything else in the world, the WWE Championship. He said his name looks so good on it, but before they move on, he would like to reminisce about his past accomplishments in the WWE. A video package aired looking at the history of Edge in the WWE. It was a really good video package, ending with his WWE Championship win last night at New Years Revolution. Edge said after watching that, he has to admit that he is awesome. He said hes done some serious business in the WWE, and he said that he and Lita have saved themselves for tonight, because the Rated R Superstar wanted to celebrate his way with live, torrid, passionate sex on RAW.
