Edge and Randy Orton were a part of the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever at WWE Backlash 2020

Edge and Randy Orton battles each other in a WrestleMania 36 rematch after the Rated R superstar defeated the Viper in a Last Man Standing match. Not only that but the two were also a part of another one-on-one match at WWE Backlash 2020 which Vince McMahon wanted to be advertised as the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. But the Rated R superstar didn’t like the idea and laughed at the Chairman of WWE for the idea:

“This shouldn’t even be happening. Let alone for the company, and let’s call it straight, Vince, to think that he can bill this the ‘Greatest Match Ever’. Would I have preferred they not billed it as that? Absolutely. But I also know there are times where heels get dug in the sand and there’s no changing it. I just laughed because I didn’t think it was serious. Then I realised fairly quickly it was. And then my reaction was, is this wise, because anytime you say something the greatest beforehand, you’re setting yourself up for failure. And I don’t ever want to think that way.”

“If I were to look at it on paper and go right, first proper wrestling match back in nine and a half years and they want to bill it as the greatest wrestling match ever … I mean, that’s pretty pressure filled. But I can’t look at it that way, I really can’t. I just have to understand that it’s promotion and it’s hype. I always go out with a mindset to try and have the best match that I’ve ever had.” – Metro.co.uk
