We are live on tape from Cincinnati, Ohio and your announcers are Todd ‘I thought turkeys could fly’ Grisham and Jim ‘WKRP and NewsRadio are very similar’ Ross.
Edge comes to the ring to address his fans. Edge says that if there was ever any doubt as to who the face of Smackdown is, it is time to end the debate now. Edge says that he does not want to hear any other superstars coming out to claim to be the face of Smackdown. Judgment Day has come and gone and Edge says that he is still the face of the brand. Chris Jericho lost to Rey Mysterio. CM Punk lost to Umaga. Edge reminds everyone that he embarrassed and defeated Jeff Hardy. That means that he is still everyone’s World Heavyweight Champion. He tells everyone that he is the premiere superstar in the WWE today. The fans might object and think that it is Jeff Hardy, but Edge says that Jeff Hardy is not even in his league.

Speaking of people who are not winners, Teddy Long comes to the ring as only Teddy can. Teddy tells Edge that what he witnessed at Judgment Day was an atrocity. He says that he believes that the referee’s decision is final. Teddy points out that Matt Hardy illegally interfered in the title match. Therefore, at Extreme Rules, Jeff Hardy gets a rematch.
Edge reminds Teddy that he beat Jeff Hardy. He says that Teddy and the fans can make excuses for Jeff and he is sick of it. Edge says that he has more will, heart, and determination than Jeff and he is willing to pull out all of the stops. Edge says that he went back into his vault of moves and used the Top Rope Edgecution to win the match. Edge says that Jeff is not championship material, he is a failure.
The failure Jeff Hardy comes out and he has something to say. Jeff says that Edge is right. He is a loser, a screw up, a letdown, and wreckless at time. Jeff says that he is also a competitor. At Extreme Rules, since every match is Extreme, why not make things crazy. Jeff suggests a match tonight to allow the winner to determine the stipulation of their match at Extreme Rules.
Edge tells Jeff that he cannot make matches and tries to get on Teddy’s good side to win this argument. Jeff also pleads his case to Teddy. Jeff tells Teddy that he said last week that the show belongs to the WWE Universe so Jeff throws out a Mick Foley cheap pop to get the Cincinnati fans to support his position. Jeff goes into the crowd to ask if they want to see Jeff wrestle Edge tonight.
Teddy says that when the WWE Universe talks like that he feels foolish not listening to them. Teddy gives Jeff his match and the winner of the match will choose how Extreme the match at Extreme Rules will be. Teddy wants some holla-ing in Cincinnnati.
