-Nothing worth showing a video package on this week, so we get the Smackdown opening credits and a welcome from Michael Cole.

-Edge is already in the ring with Vickie Guerrero to kick things off.

-Edge welcomes us to “The Cutting Edge.” He tells Vickie, who is still in a wheel chair, that she looks fabulous. He doesn’t want to start things off on a negative, but Wrestlemania is looking to be a big disappointment. He says the end of Undertakers streak is coming. Edge says he has never lost to Undertaker and wants that to sink in with everybody for a minute. He calls himself the true phenom and Vickie concurs. She says the main event tonight will prove that point, as Undertaker will be facing Edge, Hawkins, and Rider in a handicapped match. Edge says Vickie is so hot, when making main event matches. Edge says Taker only involves one half of Wrestlemania, the other is his guest tonight on the show. He introduces Ric Flair.

-Woo! Flair struts to the ring.

- Edge thanks Flair for being on the show and tells him to take a load off and have a seat. Edge doesn’t want to be presumptuous, but in 3 weeks it’s over. No more limousine riding or jet flying. Michaels is going to put a stop to the show. Flair says the show will go on and he’ll beat HBK and wrestle long after ‘Mania. Edge jokes that their will peace in the Middle East and Brittany Spears will finally put on underwear. He wants to talk to Flair, the loser. Edge tells some fans to shut up then soaks in the heat. “You suck” chants rain down on Edge.

-Flair says you’re fans are talking to you. Edge says Flair has lost to Taker at ‘Mania and wonders how it feels? It doesn’t feel good and it hurt like hell losing to Taker at ‘Mania and it’s a moment he’ll never forget. Flair adds that Edge shouldn’t worry about ending Taker’s streak as much as him wrapping his hand around his throat and walking away with his belt. He calls Edge and Vicki’s relationship a sham and scam. That Edge has used it to advance his career and he’ll still lose his title to Taker. Vickie doesn’t like people questioning their love still. She says Flair has no common sense. Edge tells her to cool that Latin blood and he’s not letting Flair talk to her like that. He wants Flair to watch that 3-on-1 match closely tonight, because next week it’ll be Flair instead of Taker. He tells Flair to not worry, because they won’t jeopardize his career, just his physical well being.

-Vickie likes the idea, but she wants it to be in a steel cage. Edge “Woo’s” at Flair who pops Edge in the face. They show Teddy standing on the side smiling. Flair leaves the ring and Edge looks on in disdain.
