We are in Phoenix, Arizona and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Edge makes his way to the ring.  

We have a video package for Edge and Seth Rollins.

Edge sits down in the ring and he looks around.  Edge tells Seth he saw what he said last week.  He heard what you said.  I really heard what you said.  It sat with me.  Your boot on the back of my neck.  My face mashed into that briefcase.  I know it was 2014, but I feel it like it was yesterday.  I was worried.  I was worried about my way of life, my wife, and my kids.  Last week, you threatened all of those things again.  Edge says that he knows what that Curb Stomp can do to him.  He has a triple fusion on my neck.  If you hit that Curb Stomp, it probably ends my career.  It affects the type of father that I can be.  I get it that you threatened those things but that is the mind game you play with Edge.  Edge says he knows those are mind games, except with you Seth.

I take my cues from the eyes and you mean everything that you say.  You are an all time talent and I will never take it away from you.  You have pushed me into a dark place.  You have pushed me into a place I don't like to go because it is so hard to come back.  Because, if I am being truthful, it is because I like it.  You have made me find a place in my heart where the blood runs black.  He says he sees clearly.  He sees that at SummerSlam, he doesn't just have to beat you, I have to break you.  I have to humble you.  Edge says he is going to burn you down.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio are in the back and Dominik says that he knows Rey will beat Jey tonight and they will win tomorrow.  Rey tells Dominik he needs to focus.  Rey says he knows he has been hard on Dominik but he wants to win the tag titles back.  He tells Dominik to stay alert.
