Inside Gordon H. Paquette Municipal Arena is where we next find Adam Copeland. This time seen with none other then Michelle McCool. The two walking down the hall without a look of concern on their faces as they make conversation.

Michelle McCool- "So any word on how Chris is doing?".

Edge- " He is coming along. I stopped by to see him this morning as a matter of fact".

Michelle McCool- "So that explains why I couldn’t reach you. I called like a half dozen times and even came by your hotel".

Edge- " Well, I left my cell in the car. You know being in a hospital and all".

She almost comes to a stop, as she looks up at him with just a hint of a smile.

Michelle McCool- " Your such a piss poor liar. You were with Mallory wasn’t you?".

Edge- " Actually yeah, I was. But I also did go over and see Chris".

Michelle McCool- "He took a beating out there this past week".

Edge- "Oh something tells me it won't be ANYTHING compared to what is waiting on both Dean and Nick, at my hands. Nick has been riding high for far too long around the CMF. Doing and saying just as he pleases. Having his brother Jason in control, Nick feels he is entitled to special privileges. Now along comes Dean somehow thinking he is indestructible, and can't be touched. I guess Dean laying up in the hospital should somehow change his thinking. It only proves he does have a chink in that so-called amour of his".

Michelle McCool- "I have a bad feeling about that man Adam. Nick as well. I have been noticing how out of control Nick has been of late. Coming out during Dean's match and taking you both out, only proves it all the more".

Edge- "I'm not worried about either Nick or Dean. Like I said, they both are human, therefore they can bleed like the rest of us and that is exactly what is going to happen next week when I take the two of them on. Dean may be riding high right now, but his fall from grace is coming sooner then he knows. As for Nicky, he has been shooting his mouth for far too long. Now its time that he, as the old saying goes, "puts up or shuts up".

They reach Adam's locker room. The two stepping inside.

Michelle McCool- " I got to ask you something, and I want the truth".

Edge- "Alright, ask".

Michelle McCool- "How much of this your doing is for yourself, and how much is for Chris?".

Edge- "Michelle. Chris is my tag partner. You saw what happened to him out there. I can’t let that pass".

Michelle McCool- " I understand that".

He begins to smile, his mind now onto something else.

Edge- "But I also hate Nick as well. I intend to shove that silver spoon he was born with right down his throat and hope it chokes him to death".

Michelle McCool- " You really do have a hatred for Nick don’t you?".

Edge- "From day one when I signed to the CMF".

Michelle McCool- " So why, what happened?".

Edge- "Let's just say we didn’t start off on the right foot".

Sitting down, Michelle watches as Adam removes his jacket, tossing it over onto a chair.

Michelle McCool- "Unlike you and Mallory".

Edge- "Come again?".

Michelle McCool- " I noticed you been spending a lot of time with her".

Edge- "Well, we do have this match this week".

Michelle McCool- " I don’t trust that woman, there is something about her that doesn't sit right with me".

Adam smiles, shaking his head.

Edge- " Let me guess here.. women's intuition?".

Michelle McCool- "Something like that".

Edge- " I shall leave that up to you and Maryse. As for me, I am going to find Matthew. I have a few words for a few people."

With a wink, he steps out the door. Heading back down the hall until he finds Matthew. The two men speak to one another briefly and then in short order a camera has been set up. Adam takes his place in front of a CMF backdrop. His eyes straight ahead as he begins to speak.

Edge- " I shall be very short and to the point in what I am about to say. Last week, during Chris Ontario's match, Nick Beausoleil crossed a line. Not only did he put himself in something where he didn’t belong, he once again proved that he feels.. He can walk on water.. Raise the dead.. Or do any number of things if he so wants. Nicky, I don’t know what its going to take to bring you down to your knees, but it will happen. It will happen, because I AM, the man that will do it. You think you proved anything when you ran out to the ring last week?. I suppose, to some degree that you did. You proved to one and all that you're not nearly as smart as you think. It wasn’t smart boy, to piss me off anymore then you already have. Get this straight in your mind Nick; you lost your precious U.S. title to Darkfire. Its over, let it go.Anyone else would. But you, no you just can't seem to do that can you Nick?. Somehow the fact that you lost to a man that isn’t nearly as good as Dean tries to pass himself off, just wrecks your ego. What's the matter Nick, you worried that all your hype, all that you have done over the years, building yourself into this top tier wrestler has now began to unravel before your eyes?. You know, there is a rumor going round that you like to toss a few back after the shows. Maybe if you pulled your head out of that bottle Nick, you could begin to think a bit clearer. Your actions on Backlash sure as hell weren't the actions of a man who has clear mind. All you have done boy, is make things even worse on yourself. I know what you are capable of, I have seen it first hand. What is it your fond of saying?. Oh yeah. " You’re a man without a conscience". Well guess what Nicky, so AM I. Dean knows that, just ask him. When he is able to drag his ass out of that hospital bed where I PUT HIM. Ask him, when he is through licking his wounds and hiding out. Because that is exactly what he is doing. Dean, is a man who is also too stupid or too blind to take what is offered. Dean could be more then he is, he just refuses. I have seen people like Dean many times; they start off with a bang, and then quickly burn out. That is what I predict for Darkfire".

Adam smiles, showing how much certainty his words held for him.

Edge- " Dean, you can talk, cajole, threaten, do and say all you want about what I did to you. You say whatever you want about getting revenge on me and you know what?. IT WON'T mean a damn thing. Face it Dean, I screwed you over big time. I humiliated you in front of a worldwide audience and you know why, because I am smarter then you. I am the better man between us Dean and when you, Nick and I step into the ring for a shot at that title you hold, I am going to expose you for the weak pathetic man you REALLY are. I WILL be the next U.S. champion Dean. Your title reign will be the shortest on record with the United States championship. I know you sell yourself as this maniacal freak Dean, but that’s just to hide what is really lurking behind the mask. That is a man with no real direction or a clue as to what he is doing. If you knew what you were doing Dean, you would have never opened your stupid mouth to me. You would have stuck to facing people more on your own level.. Like say.. Riley. Now you see, both you and Nick are in over your heads. Its too late to call off the dogs of war. Its too late for the both of you. But again, that is not my problem. I know what I am going to do. Just as I am equally as certain that your title Dean is coming to a new home. To be held by man that truly knows how to defend it. That man is of course.. the Rated R Superstar. The TRUE star of the show.."

Adam pauses, looking around, then back again to the camera.

Edge- " You hear that Grave Digger?. If not let me repeat it so you and your two sidekicks can hear me. I said I am the true star of this place. Now I don’t quite know what your angle is, but I do know that all this dark, mysterious talking in riddles bullshit isn’t doing anything to affect my way of thinking when it comes to you. I mean sure it might play well in some mid western town or on people like the Mousiders, but with me, your falling just a little short of your goal. Just like you seem to feel this match that you so graciously offered me, will somehow be YOUR stepping stone. That I, as you said, would be your stepping-stone. Do you really believe that Digger?. Because if you do, then you either have been dipping into Jeremy Wilson's personal stash or you have some sort of mental defect. The rest of the CMF superstars might not have the backbone to get in the ring with you, but not me. I welcome the chance to take you on and what's more I will kick your ass for all your trouble. I'm pretty sure I can prove that your anything but that. Though I have to give credit, where credit is due. I don’t know how you and RoadHouse pulled it off, but getting Tara added to this gig of yours, was quite the achievement. Because lets face it, the woman is easy on the eyes and pretty damn smart. Unlike some of the other divas in this place she is also strong willed and more then capable of standing on her own two feet. But beyond that, the elite isn’t anything more then any other faction that has come and gone. Again though, you can play mind games with the Mousiders all you like, makes no difference to me. You want to destroy the new tag team champions, be my guest. They won't be missed I can tell you that for a fact. If that’s how you get your rocks off, hey who am I to stand in the way, right?. . We both know that you and I have separate agendas, and goals we want to meet. But I am more then willing to make a detour this week Digger to face you. Like I said, the rest of these "so called" superstars might be scared shitless to face you or scratching their heads at what you say and do, but not me. In fact, I think your very entertaining in half hour comedy sort of way . See you at Backlash Digger…"

Stepping away, Adam smiles at Matthew then starts back down the hall again. But instead of going back to where Michelle was waiting, he instead walks straight in the other direction. On his way to find Randy Orton once more…
