We start off tonight’s show with a look at Cena’s Warriors who will face the Nexus at SummerSlam being unveiled two weeks ago. We fast forward to last week when Nexus swept the Superstars All Stars in a seven on seven match. Then we see the tension between the members of Los Hombres de Cena. Will there be peace among Team Cena this week?
We are live on tape from San Antonio, Texas and your announcers are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.
Edge comes to the ring to address the crowd. He says that he tried but last week things became crystal clear to him. He needs to go with his gut. He needs to listen to one person and that person is him. He says that after he returned at the Royal Rumble, he listened to the fans. He says that the fans let him down. Just like his SummerSlam team is letting him down because they are disintegrating before his eyes. He does not respect John Cena, he does not trust Chris Jericho, and he has no faith in the Great Khali. He barely knows Truth and Morrison. That is why he needs to do things his way. Nexus needs to be taken down. They have wreaked havoc since they debuted in WWE. Edge says that he will challenge Wade Barrett to a one-on-one match. He does not want anyone coming down to stick his nose into his business.
Edge is interrupted by R Truth. Edge wants to know why Truth is down here. Truth says that he wanted to ask the same questions. Will challenging Barrett to a match squash things. Edge says that he doesn’t want to have to rely on anyone. Truth says that if Edge doesn’t want to listen to John Cena, that is fine. However, Edge will listen to him. Truth says that Edge has been in a ton of matches, but how many times has he had to fight for everything? Truth says that they are fighting for what they love to do. They are fighting for their lifestyle, their friends, and the WWE Universe. It is ‘we’ fighting. If that isn’t the case, Nexus wins. Truth tells Edge that he has to stop thinking about himself and pull his head out of his rear end. Truth tells Edge that is the truth.
Edge says that is Truth’s version of the Truth. Edge says that you kill a snake by chopping its head off. That will cause Nexus to crumble. Edge asks Truth if he is going to lose or will he have to spear Truth.
Michael Cole has mail and he goes to his General Manager Lectern. The e-mail tells R Truth to leave so Edge can face Wade Barrett.
Truth wishes Edge luck and tells him he is on his own.
