Time to run through the card for Backlash.

Jim Ross and Todd Grisham show us what happened to John Cena on Raw.

Todd Grisham has made it from the announce table to the interview area at light speed to talk to John Cena. John is all serious and he says that he is supposed to be saying that this is where he says that he is ready to go for Backlash. John wants to address the viewers. He says that the footage they just saw was overly graphic. Cena says that it was a necessity. The rivalry between him and Edge has nowhere else to go. They have walked down every road and told every story. This is one of the greatest rivalries in Sports Entertainment history. He says that they have manufactured each other’s career through this feud. This the Yankees versus the Red Sox. He asks what if the Yankees and Red Sox only play one more game. Would they risk their career to win that last game? Would they put it all on the line and gamble because they might be victorious. Cena says that is how serious it is to him. You will probably hear from Edge and he will be cocky and confident about how he will win at Backlash. Cena says that he is thirsty for a brawl. They know that only one will be able to walk out. Only one can be the better man and at Backlash, there will be only one ‘last man standing’.
