(As Raw returns from commercial, the ring is set up for the Highlight Reel, as
Chris Jericho makes his way down to the ring. )

Chris Jericho:
Welcome to Raw is Jericho!  And this is the Highlight Reel!  And tonight, we
meet a man who claims that he has been overlooked constantly in the hunt for
the WWE title.  No, no, I'm not interviewing myself, though I can understand
the confusion.  Tonight, my guest is Edge!

(Edge's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring. )

Chris Jericho:
Edge, your quest for the WWE title has been epic, in the what, 3-4 days that 
you have declared an interest in it.  I mean, you've lost to Val Venis, you've
er...you've...well, that's about all you've done, so why not tell the world
why you deserve to be...on TV, let alone challenging for the WWE title.

Edge:
That's cute Jericho, real funny.  I could say the same thing for you really,
and I guess if it wasn't for this little show of yours, you probably wouldn't
even have a contract anyway.

What went down last week was nothing.  As I've said before, Val Venis is a 
waste of mine, and I don't belong in the same ring as him.  Seeing as he didn't
want to just lay down and die, I did the only thing that I could to escape,
which was let him have his moment of glory, so I could get out of there.  Val
Venis is in the past, and now is the time for Edge's future.  I will be the 
WWE Champion sooner than you might think.  The instant that I get my ti..

(Edge's rant is cut off by the music of Val Venis, who comes out to the ramp. )

Edge:
What do you want now?

Chris Jericho:
Oh didn't I tell you?  I have two guests on the Highlight Reel tonight, the
other one being Mr. Val Venis.  Val, I understand that you have something to
say.

Val Venis:
Why yes I do Chris, and it's relevant to you, Edge.  You see, I thought you'd
just come up with some excuse for last Thursday, so I decided to take it upon
myself to ensure that there are no excuses.  You see, whether you like it or
not, you and I are going to fight again, not at No Mercy, but at Taboo Tuesday.
And it's going to be in one of three very special matches types.  It's going
to be a cage match, or a dumpster match, or it may even be a First Blood match.
And it's all in the hands of these people, who you turned your back on just
one week ago.  Who knows what sick torture they have in mind for you!  I guess
I'll see you at Taboo Tuesday.

(Venis' music hits again, and he returns to the backstage area. )

Chris Jericho:
Well, I guess you won't be escaping him any time soon, unless it's the cage
match maybe.  

Edge:
You think this is funny Jericho?  You think this is amusing?  Well laugh this
up, punk!

(Edge clocks Jericho with the mic, and starts to brawl with him.  Officials
come out to seperate them, as Raw goes to commercial. )
