He talks about how Edge was medically forced to quit 11 years ago but against all the odds he fought back and overcame, and returned to do what he loves to do the most – perform in front of all of you. Priest calls on fans to give it up for Edge. Balor says you can only have one fate for so long as judgment catches up with all of us, and at Extreme Rules, Balor will act as the cruel hand of fate that reminds Edge he doesn’t belong near any ring Balor is standing in. 

Finn Balor further days he will do Edge a favor because he’s a nice guy, he will beat Edge so bad and force him to quit. The boos get louder. Priest is so excited to watch Balor beat Edge so bad he quits. Fans continue with the “What?!” treatment now. Priest issues a warning to their potential opponents and says The Judgment Day will always rise, and that especially goes for tonight’s opponents. Ripley whispers something to Dominik as he takes the mic. Fans chant “who’s your daddy?” 

Dominik says his daddy is not Rey Mysterio. Dominik says he hates his father so much, Rey lied to him his entire life and he has a new family now, thanks to The Judgment Day. Balor addresses his old friend AJ Styles now, and says he could’ve ended his career last week but he chose not to because AJ is his friend. Balor says the olive branch is still extended… but Balor is not a bad guy so don’t make Balor do bad things because The Judgment Day will… the music interrupts and here comes AJ Styles. Rey is out next and they head to the ring together.

A brawl immediately breaks out between the four Superstars. Dominik pulls Balor to safety. Rey slides out and sends Balor flying with a hurricanrana.

– Kevin Patrick stops WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley at backstage, and points to his three month title reign.

Lashley says he’s beaten everyone else but now he is looking to face someone with the same hustle and desire he has. 

Suddenly, Mustafa Ali appears and says if it’s desire Lashley wants, he’s got plenty. Ali says he’s still sitting in the back waiting on someone to call his number and he’s so done waiting, so he’s stepping to the front of the line and wants an opportunity now. Lashley sees Ali hustling and grinding, so if he keeps it up, Lashley will make sure he gets a shot. Lashley turns back to Patrick but Ali turns him around and says he’s not asking, he’s demanding and he wants a chance now. Lashley says he will give Ali that shot.

– Sami Zayn is laughing with Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa but he is trying not to laugh at backstage. Jey Uso walks up and asks what’s so funny. Sami says it’s not important. Jey says they’re here having a good time when they have business to take care of, they’re supposed to warn everyone that The Tribal Chief is pulling up on Raw soon. 

Sami Zayn agrees and says let’s go put these fools on notice. They walk away and run into The Street Profits. Sami has a message for The Profits and the rest of the Raw locker room – Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be here next week season premiere of Raw, so prepare to acknowledge him. This leads to words between The Profits and The Usos. Solo steps up to Angelo Dawkins and it looks like we have a match for later on.

And next comes Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair.

Bayley speaks first and goes on about how the ladder is symbolic of her rise in WWE, and how she used to be the fan favorite Belair is now. Bayley says her career started to spiral so she had to do something to get it back on track so… Belair tells her to shut up. The contract is signed now. Graves thanks them and wishes them good luck for Saturday.

Belair accuses Bayley of running her mouth and having a chip on her shoulder. Belair goes on about how Bayley should never compare herself to Belair because she will never do it as good. Belair says Bayley was just pretending to be someone she’s not, and Belair is authentic, which is why fans connect to her. She says Bayley didn’t evolve she just became the real her. Belair goes on taunting Bayley and says she will still be champion after Extreme Rules. Bayley says we’ll see about that because her girls will be ringside and they disagree.

– WWE Hall of Famer Edge at backstage. He says the version of Edge we’ve seen since he returned is pretty much Adam. He talks about how he’s been transparent. He was told years ago he had no choice to wrestle but that was until he made it a choice, he could not quit. Edge says by that time he was 46 and it was more difficult, and it became progressively difficult. He’s not looking for sympathy, this is his dream gig and he loves it. 

Edge says what’s become harder is how it’s not just taking a toll on him, it’s taking a toll on his family now. He comments on how his daughters hear his bones cracking in the morning. But even worse is the look of doubt or fear on the face of his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Edge goes on about how he may be too selfish or stubborn but that’s what is needed to succeed at the level he’s succeeded at, and he can’t apologize for that. This brings him to The Judgment Day. 

Edge gives them credit for making it more difficult, no matter how many times he beats them they always come back and pick him apart, knock him down harder and harder, making it harder to put the pieces back together to come back but he does. Edge understands Rey Mysterio is distancing himself from this because of Dominik Mysterio. Edge says it’s his own fault Judgment Day even exists, but he knows what he has to do when his back is against the wall – ask Mick Foley, The Undertaker, John Cena and Randy Orton… he comes out swinging punches or headbutts, whatever he has to do, he has to be a one man gang. 

Edge says in the “I Quit” match Finn Balor will be facing someone he’s never faced before. Edge says Balor can’t hurt him enough, all four of them can’t hurt him enough to make him say he quits. Edge says they cannot physically hurt him enough to make him quit. He hopes they are all ready for a war because he sure is.
