This week on WWE RAW, Randy Orton elaborated on the challenge he made to Edge last week. The Viper reiterated that he knows he’s the better wrestler. Orton said he wants to beat Edge in a standard wrestling match. He then addressed Edge. “I know why you didn’t accept my challenge last week on Mondy Night RAW,” said Orton. “I saw doubt. Your grit and passion has faded away. It’s gone. What once was grit and passion is now just doubt and fear.”
Edge then came to the ring and said Orton gave him a lot to think about last week. “That’s all this is to you,” said Edge. “It’s a game.” Edge called Orton the most talented person he’s ever seen in a wrestling ring. “This isn’t the life you wanted,” said Edge. “This is the life you were handed.” The Rated R Superstar said Orton doesn’t care about wrestling. He told Orton to shut his mouth because he hasn’t endured a career-ending injury.
Orton asked Edge if he accepted the challenge. “Yes, yes, I accept the challenge,” said Edge.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
It'll be @EdgeRatedR's grit and passion vs. @RandyOrton's natural ability at #WWEBacklash! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/BfsyJwraxB
