We are LIVE now at twitch.tv/steveandlarson

Drew starts off with his own recap of Royal Rumble. Puts every match over, then gets to Edge. Edge interrupts.

Drew chats him up about how much he marked out over his return.

Edge says I really like you, and I have been a mentor, but “What is wrong with you?” I won last night, which means I can challenge you. I am an immediate and viable threat. Instead of kicking my head off, you’re showering me with compliments.

Drew: Maybe that’s something an opportunist would do. Not me.

Sheamus interrupts. Says I should be happy, but I’m pissed- Edge, who are you? You were sitting at home with a bad triceps. He might be nice, but I’m not.

Drew backs him off, says are you gonna make a decision or am I gonna make it for you?

Edge says you have a huge target on your back, but I’ll let you know my decision.

Sure enough, Sheamus brogue kicks the hell out of Drew as soon as he turns his back on him.
