Raw kicked off this week with a 15 minute segment featuring Edge and Randy Orton. Last week’s episode ended with the two of them squaring off. Orton wanted a stipulation-free match at Backlash. This week Edge answered his challenge.

Edge came down and cut a promo on Randy Orton about how he never wanted to become a WWE Superstar, let alone a champion. Orton provoked him further and asked Edge if he accepts his challenge. Edge did accept.
