It is time for the Cutting Edge and Edge makes his way to the ring and he is introduced by Tony Chimmel.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Edge says that feels good. He says he is excited to be here because this is the 900th episode of Smackdown. He says anyone who knows him knows he bleeds blue. He helped build this show so he has a vested interest in the five on five match between Raw and Smackdown.
Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Shane McMahon, AJ Styles, and James Ellsworth make their way to the ring.
Edge says he has been watching Smackdown since the brand split. It is the land of opportunity. There is one person who personifies the beacon of light on this show and he says he wants to shake that man’s hand.
AJ thinks Edge is talking about him, but he shakes James Ellsworth’s hand.
James says he has been a fan of Edge’s his whole life. He would love to do the five second pose.
AJ stops it from happening. He says it was stupid then and it is stupid now. AJ says he is the face that runs this place. No one cares about Ellsworth and no one cares about you. He tells Edge to ask a question to someone who matters on this team.
Edge asks his former tag team partner, Randy Orton if he is there. He wants to know what is going on. Edge asks Randy if Bray needs to hold a string in the middle of Randy’s back.
Bray says the Randy that you know is dead. You will see a far more dangerous viper than before on Sunday.
Edge says Shane has his work cut out on Sunday.
Shane says nobody has to get along or like each other. For one night, they have to be on the same page. He says AJ is the World Champion and he may be the face that runs this place. One thing is for sure, this is our team. This is the money show and since you love your little cliches, maybe you will be competing in Shane-O-Macdown.
AJ says that sounds stupid. AJ tells Shane they will stick together because of him and because he decided to be the bigger man and coexist with this hot head Dean Ambrose. He is someone who does not follow the plan and he punches someone on Raw.
Dean calls AJ a bonehead and says he is Kool and the Gang. When the match is over on Sunday, he will be coming after AJ and at TLC he will use every table, ladder, and chair to win his title back.
AJ says he agreed to play nice at Survivor Series, but maybe he will and maybe he won’t.
The lights go out and there is a blue tint in the building. The fires rise from the stage and the Undertaker makes his way to the ring.
Undertaker looks at all of the members of the Smackdown men’s team.
Taker says there could be no better man to be Commissioner of Smackdown than the man who has no fear. He says he is here for two reasons. Wrestlemania will no longer define who he is. He says he is back taking souls and digging holes. Survivor Series is where the Undertaker was born and Smackdown has always been his home. That brings him to the second reason he is out here. At this year’s Survivor Series, there is no reason to fear failure, but if you fail, you will have reason to fear the Dead Man.
Team Raw better REST IN PEACE.
We go to credits.
