On SmackDown, Edge was seen backstage a good portion of the night. First, he was approached in the
locker room by Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder, whom he congratulated on their Tag Team Championship win at Great American Bash last week.
Later, he was talking with Alicia Fox in a hallway corridor, with Bam Neely spying. Edge declared shortly after that he wanted to apologize
to Vickie Guerrero in public, out in the ring. When Vickie finally arrived to the arena, Chavo Guerrero wheeled her out there, and when
she was in the ring, Edge apologized but justified his actions, claiming that Alicia was "very aggressive" and "wouldn't take no for an
answer." Vickie smiled and said she understood, but then revealed that she was very angry and had reinstated The Undertaker. Edge grew
alarmed, but even more so when the GM announced that she made a match for him to face the Phenom at SummerSlam in none other than a Hell
in a Cell match!
At Great American Bash, there was a poll going on as to whether fans felt more sympathy toward Vickie
Guerrero or Edge, and the results favored Edge by 10 percent. The Rated R Superstar was asked early on by JR as to how he was feeling. Edge
appared agitated and on the verge of a breakdown as he replied by addressing Triple H, calling him a pervert and stating that he no longer has
a personal life, just a professional life. He declared that Triple H ruined his life, but he would do the same to him by taking the WWE title
away from him. In the match, Edge had a good portion of the upper hand, launching immediately into his hated opponent. A bodyscissors took
The Game out of his "game." Triple H tossed Edge to the arena floor outside. Edge delivered an impaler DDT out there. Back in the ring, Triple
H attempted a Pedigree, but Edge avoided it and shoved him into the turnbuckles, then delivered a big superplex. Edge attempted a Spear but
missed and went into the turnbuckles. As both were down, Alicia Fox ran to the ring and grabbed the WWE Championship belt, slipping it into the
ring to give to Edge. However, Vickie ran out and knocked her down and took the belt herself, then got in the ring, poised to strike Edge with
it. Alicia went after her and a catfight ensued. Edge rose and went to Spear the referee, who had been holding Alicia back, but got Vickie
instead as he moved. Triple H then capitalized with a Pedigree to retain.
SmackDown, Charlotte, North Carolina - July 18, 2008
On SmackDown, Edge and Vickie Guerrero celebrated their wedding reception, with loads of things
taking place. First, Edge acted as special referee for Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder's tag team match against Finlay and Hornswoggle.
Next, Edge and Vickie had their first dance as a married couple, but the Big Show came out to cut in to dance with Vickie. The Rated
R Superstar then informed him that he would have a "mystery opponent," which turned out to be four, in the form of Shelton Benjamin,
MVP, Vladimir Kozlov and The Great Khali. Next, Edge was seen backstage and was stopped by a representative from
Slim Jim,
for which he recently did a commercial. The Hardys came out for a match against one another but stopped to pick up the wedding cake
and tossed it on the wedding party. La Familia ended up going into the ring and attacking both before the match could finish. Edge
delivered a Spear to each brother. Finally, the entire wedding party appeared in the ring so Edge could present a special video to
Vickie. However, they were interrupted by Triple H, who claimed he had wedding gifts. A video featuring Edge and wedding planner
Alicia Fox began to play. Edge grew angry and ordered the guys to get rid of The Game. Triple H introduced "gift #2" and brought out
a sledgehammer. The video continued with Edge getting a massage from Alicia and then him giving her one. Edge talked about having to
buy Vickie lingerie at
Lane Bryant due to her large size. The video ended with Edge and Alicia kissing passionately. In the
ring, Edge looked caught as Vickie started hitting him and screaming. The Rated R Superstar fled from the ring, as did Alicia Fox.
Vickie screamed at the top of her lungs at her new husband.
SmackDown, Baton Rouge, Louisiana - July 11, 2008
On SmackDown, Edge made an announcement to kick off the show - that he was sticking by what he said last week,
the wedding to Vickie Guerrero was still off. Vickie came out and they had a war of words that ended with her punishing him by
putting him in a no-DQ match against Big Show. Backstage, Chavo told Edge they were "brothers" and that he would have his say to
Vickie. That turned out to be a farce, as Chavo approached Vickie and said he couldn't believe what a jerk Edge was for calling off the wedding.
Later, Edge faced the Big Show and got tossed around like a ragdoll but had his own offense in as well. Vickie had a change
of heart when Show had a chair in hand and draped herself over Edge. Afterward, the two reconciled.
SmackDown, Tulsa, Oklahoma - July 4, 2008
On SmackDown, Edge was first seen arriving at the arena in a sour mood. He ran out after the Jesse & Festus
vs Hawkins & Ryder tag match to attack a helpless Festus as a way to exert his anger. Shortly later, he was summoned to Vickie Guerrero's office,
where he and the GM got into a fight. Vickie locked him out, and Edge angrily tried to kick in the door. At the end of the show, the Rated R
Superstar went to the ring with a mic and gave an angry tirade about what happened on Monday and how he was getting no support from anyone, including
his fiancee. He then claimed he had some "secrets" about Vickie, and the GM came out and yelled at him to stop. Edge approached her to make one
final announcement - that the wedding was off. He then left as Guerrero screamed, removed and threw her engagement ring and pulled at her hair.
