When Undertaker defeated Edge at WrestleMania XXIV, he not only won the World Heavyweight Championship, he also lengthened his already-incredible WrestleMania winning streak to 16-0. But The Deadman won’t rest now that he has the Championship, because the man he won it from is none other than the Ultimate Opportunist, Edge, who gave Undertaker more than his fair share of trouble in their title bout. If The Phenom wants to keep the former champion at bay, he will have to keep close watch on the entire Rated-R entourage, including cohorts Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder, and fiancée, SmackDown General Manger Vickie Guerrero. Will the Rated-R Superstar have anything to say about his downfall this week on SmackDown?
