411’s LIVE Raw Coverage 05.23.05 | Lita & Edge Have Some ‘Splaining To Do

We start with highlights of Kane and Edge in the Gold Rush tournament final, and Lita turning on Kane.

We start cold with no entrance video or pyro; instead, security guards line the walkway to the ring.

Promised for Tonight:
– Batista vs Edge (World Heavyweight Championship)

Edge & Lita head out to the ring together with the briefcase. Security surrounds the ring.

Lita implores fans to throw their stones at her. She tells people to pass judgement. She pleads that what she did to Kane, she does all the time. They use their husbands! Can you really blame her? Where does she start? Maybe the boiler room incident, maybe forcing her to have sexual relations, maybe the pregnancy, maybe the marriage she didn’t want to be in, and maybe the lack of protection that caused her to lose her baby. “The way I see it, is Kane owes me. Yeah, Kane owes me. So I used him. Big deal. I used Kane to take care of Trish, and anything else my heart desired. All I had to do was close my eyes, pucker up, and give him a really gross big wet kiss. But I had Kane wrapped around my finger. Let’s get one thing straight.” [Loud, violent “Slut!” chant.] “Just because I’ve had more action in the past few months than any of you have in your entire lifetimes — don’t be jealous of me, OK?” [Boo!] “So let’s get one thing straight, OK? Kane, I never loved you. I could never love a sick, twisted, sweaty freak like you. While you were running my errands, doing whatever I wanted, following me around like a cute little puppy dog, I was busy falling in love. I fell in love with a real man. Kane, you could never satisfy me. Iin fact, no man that I’ve ever been with could have satisfied me” (OUCH!) “except one — the man I’ve been seeing behind your back for months, now. The next World Heavyweight Champion. Edge.”

Lita throws herself at Edge, who smiles, puts one arm around her and goes on a rant of his iown. “Hahahaha. Ahahahahahaha. Oh, this feels good. This feels really good.” Throughout this monologue, Edge teases the big wet kiss, drawing big boos every single time. “You know, you can call her a slut, but she’s my slut. And we don’t owe them an explanation or apology. They couldn’t walk a foot in our boots, let alone a mile. And the only reason you say anything is because you’re all jealous. Jealous because we look the way we do? Because we do the things we do? And you’re all jealous because I’ve got this fiery redheaded sexpot by my side. I’m on top of the world. Hahahaha. I got the girl. And tonight, I get the World Title.” [Boo!] “You see, at Wrestlemania 21, I went through five of the best superstars in this industry to become Mr Money in the Bank. And in the Gold Rush Tournament, I beat Jericho, I beat Shawn Michaels and put him on the shelf, and I beat Kane. And tonight, Batista, I go through you.” [Boo!] “Say what you want, but you all know it’s true, because tonight — tonight — I claim my destiny. I grab the throne, and I become the new World Heavyweight Champion.” They tease the kiss before Edge realizes he forgot something. “Bank on it.” Now they exchange another passionate kiss in the ring. Play Edge’s music!

JR goes through the litany of insults again, finishing with the blunt and straightforward “What these two have done to another human being’s life is absolutely repulsive in my view.”

Backstage, Kane stews in his locker room, silently rocking back and forth on a bench.
