Edge then looked at the camera and revealed his definition of grit. “Never being anyone's lackey, putting together a Hall of Fame career off his own back, being forced to retire and then still finding a way back, that is grit.” Edge said that he has passion and the only time he saw passion in Randy Orton was when they used to work together. Edge said Randy Orton made a huge mistake when he mentioned the names of his kids. Edge ended the segment calling Randy Orton a 'junkie' and vowed to make 'The Viper' regret hurting his wife.
