Edge: "I saw your promo last week, Matt, and I think it was pathetic! It was absolutely pathetic and after all the months of dragging our names though the mud, our personal lives out there for everyone to see and that's all you can muster up from your stomach, from your guts?! Well, my hands are shaking and it's from hate. Its from real emotion, Matt. This! This is passion! This is intensity. This is real!

This is why Lita left you for me. You said last week that you wanted me to get in a car accident. For me, it's the opposite. I want you being nice and safe, Matt. You get in the car and strap that seatbelt in tight. Because at Summerslam, I'm gonna prove that you don't measure up as a man to me in any way. In any way.

You whined and complained and you bitched and moaned last week saying Lita was the girl of your dreams. You wanted to marry her. Matt, you were with her for six years but you never proposed. So let me fill in the blanks here. I figured it out. You see, no one comes before Matt Hardy and his wrestling legacy. I've heard you say it! Nothing comes before V1. That being said, Matt, you should thank me. That sounds strange, but you should thank me.

You've never gotten reactions like this before in your career. You're in the main event picture now and why? Why? Because you're riding my coattails in. Yeah. You see while you were defending the Cruiserweight Championship, running around with your little MFers, me? I was fighting Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Triple H, Shawn Michaels - I earned my main event stripes! I deserve to be where I am. And why are you here? Because your girlfriend fell in love with a main eventer.

So Matt Hardy, the main event spotlight is shining on you. Your 15 minutes in the spotlight is shining and I know it feels good. But we're 13 minutes into it and time is slowly ticking away and at Summerslam, Matt, I end it. And I know that cuts close to the bone, I know it does, and I know it hurts. The truth usually does."

[6.0] "It's ok but I never liked this feud. I know it was based on real life events but let's not act like it some innovative worked shoot. This is the kind of story WWE was doing all the time anyway. The year before Kane was married to Lita who was carrying his child before she had a miscarriage. At the beginning Edge calls out Matt for his weak return promo. Now that was really bordering on shoot because Matt never looked good."

[7.0] "A very good promo by Edge that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. This made it feel real but man its hard to get invested when Matt Hardy looks like a total loser and gets eaten up by Edge on the mic like this. It was intense and emotional but not the best thing for the feud they wanna portray. 7.5/10"

[10.0] "One of Edge's best promos he delivered blurring the line between reality and kayfabe during his rivalry with Matt Hardy milking off the real-life personal hostilities from the ugly Lita, Hardy and Edge affair. Also an ironic one as Edge would go on to be a multi-time world champion, retire to become a WWE Hall of Famer and becoming one of WWE's most memorable acts, while Matt's struggled at gaining any relevance beyond being a mid-card attention whore trying to follow off the coattails of his more over younger brother Jeff."
