Edge vs Randy Orton at Backlash

Edge is set to face Randy Orton again at Backlash in a proper wrestling match. The Rated-R Superstar faced off against the Viper back in April as well at WrestleMania 36.

Orton challenged Edge two weeks ago at Monday Night RAW and it was accepted by the Rated-R Superstar last week. The match has been termed as the 'greatest wrestling match ever' by WWE and is being promoted that way.
