King: Can you believe what’s been happening between Kane and Lita?!
JR: I cannot, King but I believe that Lita has arranged for some air time to express her thoughts.
King: What about Edge? He must be worried about what Lita’s going to do.
JR: I believe we’re about to find out.
:: Instead of LoveFuryPassionEnergy by Boy Hits Car for the arrival of Lita, Metalingus by Alterbridge blasted out of the PA system. As people started to expect that Edge was coming out to say something, they were all mistaken. ::
Lilian: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…Edge and Lita!
JR: It appears that Lita wasn’t prepared to come out here alone.
:: Edge put his hand on Lita’s back as the two walked down the ramp with far from their usual cocky expressions on their faces. ::
King: At least she has Edge for support. Poor Lita. She just doesn’t look the same.
:: Edge guided Lita around ringside, allowing her to climb up the steel steps first. As Lita slowly walked along the apron, Edge followed her up the steps and the two entered the ring. Edge collected the microphone from Lilian Garcia before she exited the ring to take her seat at ringside. He walked back over to Lita and handed her the microphone. The two stood in the middle of the ring as Lita composed herself, ready to address Kane’s actions. ::
:: Despite everything that had happened to Lita the fans were showing little sympathy. She started getting distressed as the fans chanted “slut” which also seemed to be irritating Edge as well. ::
JR: This is an unusual sight for these two. They don’t usually let the fans reaction bother them.
King: This is a very different situation, JR. Lita’s been getting stalked by that monster, Kane!
:: Lita stood still with the microphone in her hand as she did her best to block out what the fans were chanting to her. ::
:: Edge looked around the crowd furiously at the lack of respect for his girlfriend. Lita finally raised the microphone up to her lips to start her speech. ::
Lita: You people can call me what you want. It makes no difference to me which you seem to have failed to notice so far. For months you’ve all been calling me a slut and have I broken up with Edge? No, I haven’t! The only reason you chant slut is because I exposed my love for Edge. The top superstar in this company. If I’d said that I’d been in love with someone like Batista or whoever you’d be practically worshipping the ground I walk on! The difference between Edge and all the other men in this company is that he isn’t afraid to express himself…and that’s something I need in a man.
:: Lita said seriously as she looked at Edge while she spoke into the microphone. ::
Lita: Edge has been here for me through thick and thin. He has supported me and stuck by me when a lot of others turned their backs on me just because I “changed.” I haven’t changed one bit. Edge just brought out a side in me that I hadn’t faced for a long time…and I’m grateful for that.
:: Edge had stood listening to Lita patiently and gestured to her that he had something to say. He handed Lita his title to hold while he took the microphone from her. Edge raised the mic up and spoke into it sternly as he addressed Kane’s actions towards Lita. ::
Edge: You people make me sick. This poor woman standing before me has been through hell the past few weeks. It’s the likes of you and that monster, Kane that have terrified her into not telling me when something is wrong. There are two things in this ring right now that belong to me and no one…you hear me, Kane? I said NO ONE puts there hands on. One of them is my world championship and the other…is Lita!
:: Edge pointed at the title and Lita as he told everyone what his two possessions were. ::
:: He took a few steps towards Lita and held her as he spoke softly into the microphone. ::
Edge: Lita, I for one know everything you’ve went through and are going through right now. All the excuses you made for Kane when you called your “sister” or needed to do some “rehab” I was there for you. The difference between Kane and I is that I am a real man.
:: A small smile was slowly starting to appear on Lita’s face as she realized that while she was Edge nothing could happen to her. ::
Edge: And like I told Kane all those months ago I will not put my girlfriend in harms way. If Kane wants to get to you…he has to go through me first. Is that ok with you…?
:: Lita put her hands on Edge’s shoulder and slowly nodded her head as her smile began more apparent. ::
Lita: Mm-hmm…and Edge, while we’re out here there’s something…
:: Before Lita could finish what she was going to tell Edge the sound of Finger Eleven’s Slow Chemical blasted out of the PA system. The sound of Kane’s entrance theme sending some alarm to both of them but obviously more to Lita. Edge took his title back from Lita and held on to it as the quickly pulled apart and turned to face the entrance ramp. ::
King: Look at Lita! She looks terrified even with the support of Edge!
:: As they stood waiting for the arrival of Kane, he didn’t appear. Instead a video link from somewhere unfamiliar to the two appeared up on the titantron as Kane slowly came into shot. After being temporarily suspended for his actions, Kane wasn’t permitted to be anywhere near Lita at Rebellion. Edge put his arm around Lita protectively as the two looked up at the titantron in disbelief that Kane was interrupting them. ::
Kane: Lita, Lita…You’ll just never learn will you?
JR: I don’t think Kane was very happy about those comments Edge made about him.
Kane: It’s impossible to be safe with a man like Edge who gets so easily distracted…You can’t keep a watchful guard over her 24/7, Edge…and a split second would be all I needed.
:: Kane started laughing. Lita looked worried about what Kane was suggesting. Edge kept his arm around Lita as he listened to what Kane was saying. ::
:: The thought of Kane going anywhere near Lita made Edge cringe. He angrily raised the microphone up to his mouth to shout at Kane. ::
Edge: I get easily distracted?! I don’t think so! Are you trying to tell me that you could keep your eye on Lita 24/7…because you couldn’t! All those months that Lita and I were sneaking around behind your back and not once did you suspect a thing. Kane, you’re incapable of looking after a women like Lita!
:: Edge paused to see what Kane had to say for himself. Kane’s face tensed up as a furious glare appeared, obviously fuming about his ex-wife’s affair and Edge rubbing it in his face. ::
Kane: Are you prepared to bet that you can?
JR: Sounds like Kane’s challenging Edge.
:: Lita picked up on what Kane was suggesting and quickly started to plead with Edge as she put her hand on his shoulder. ::
Lita: Edge, please don’t rise to him.
:: As willing as Edge was to defend his girlfriend’s honor, from the tone in her voice he knew that she wouldn’t thank him for it. ::
Kane: What’s the matter, Edge? Too scared?
:: Edge was furious at what Kane had suggested and almost agreed to a challenge but before he got a chance to Lita snatched the microphone out of his hand. Obviously having been in a situation like that before and having it backfire she definitely didn’t want to go through it again. She brought the microphone up to her lips to address Kane as Edge looked on in astonishment at what she had just done. ::
Lita: Look here, Kane. You had your chance. You proved a long time ago that you couldn’t protect me. You proved that to me when you killed my baby!
JR: That’s a harsh thing for Lita to say…especially when it wasn’t Kane’s fault. Gene Snitsky hit him with that chair for crying out loud!
King: Are you condoning Kane’s actions?
JR: I certainly am not but I just don’t agree with Lita blaming Kane for that tragedy.
Lita: First off, Edge would never force himself on to me like you did and impregnate me! And secondly, like he has already said, he would never put me in harms way like you did either! Edge is all man. You are nothing, Kane! You getting me pregnant in the first place was a miracle in itself because let’s face it…you’re certainly lacking in the skills department.
:: Edge and Lita both started laughing at how wound up Lita was making Kane, especially by mocking him. ::
Edge: What’s the matter, Kane? You’ve fallen silent all of a sudden. Is it any wonder that Lita left you and came to me instead? She really did need a man.
:: Their laughing stopped as Kane left them in wonder. ::
Kane: You shouldn’t have done that…
:: The camera cut off ending Kane’s video link with the arena. Lita turned to look at Edge as the smirk had well and truly been wiped from her face. Edge was also concerned about what Kane meant by that. ::
JR: That cockiness has certainly been knocked out of these two here tonight.
King: What does Kane mean by that?
JR: I have no idea, King but I do know that it won’t be pleasant for those two.
:: Edge turned to Lita and started guiding her towards the ropes. ::
Edge: Let’s get out of here.
:: They quickly fled the ring and headed up the ramp, disappearing backstage. ::
