Edge Vs. Batista

As first reported by WWE Mobile Alerts, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long has responded to new World Heavyweight Champion Edge’s heinous actions by placing the Rated-R Superstar in a title match against Batista at Judgment Day.

Speculation within the SmackDown locker room holds that Long was purely incensed by the calculative, vulture-like manner in which Edge won the gold in Pittsburgh. The General Manager intended on determining the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion in a tumultuous Steel Cage Match between former champion Undertaker and Batista – both longtime loyal SmackDown Superstars. This contest – one of the greatest Steel Cage Matches in WWE history – concluded in a draw as both men escaped the steel entrapment at the same time. That same night, Edge capitalized on an injured, brutalized Phenom (after both the caged encounter and a monstrous beating from a returning Mark Henry) to become the new champion.

Imagine The Animal’s surprise on that fateful evening in Pittsburgh, as he staggered his 300-pound frame to the locker room area after taking The Deadman to a second straight draw inside a steel cage. By the time Batista even made it beyond the curtain, the World’s Strongest Man had already distributed the biggest thrashing of his 11-year career. Then, just breaths later, the Rated-R Superstar had cashed in Money in the Bank to benefit from damage that can be greatly attributed to Batista’s collision with The Phenom.

Now, Edge may have to face his own personal Judgment Day as he steps into the ring with an enraged Batista – the man who put Undertaker through the match of a lifetime only to lose the championship at WrestleMania 23. Bearing battle scars from months of punishing and arduously contested wars with The Deadman, Batista enters a bittersweet confrontation at Judgment Day. That emotion may unleash a sizeable beast within Batista unlike anything the Rated-R Superstar has ever had to face in his entire career.

Edge may have been grinning madly in celebration of his golden achievement, but that expression of rapture may be wiped permanently from his jaw by a rabid Animal in St. Louis. Will the Rated-R Superstar regret his decision to trade in his Raw colors for a SmackDown hue? Or will he come to Judgment Day with a game plan just as elaborately detailed as the one he employed to seize his very first World Heavyweight Championship?
