5 longest matches in WWE WrestleMania history

#2 Edge vs Randy Orton - WWE WrestleMania 36 Night 2 (36:35)

Edge competed in his first singles match in 9 years at WrestleMania 36 against Randy Orton

WWE WrestleMania 36 marked Edge's first in-ring WrestleMania match in 9 years. After being forced to retire due to a career-ending neck injury in 2011, the Rated R Superstar made his shocking return to action during the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble.

Despite being unsuccessful, the WWE Universe was overjoyed to see The Ultimate Opportunist back to being an in-ring performer once again.

The following night on RAW, Edge celebrated his return to action and was joined by former Rated RKO tag team partner Randy Orton. After welcoming Edge back to WWE, The Viper viciously attacked his former friend, dropping him with an RKO. Orton then took the attack to a new level by hitting Edge with the conchairto on his former partner's surgically repaired neck.

This set up Randy Orton and Edge's WrestleMania 36 showdown, which was eventually agreed to be a Last Man Standing match. Due to the global pandemic, WrestleMania 36 was moved from Raymond James Stadium to the WWE Performance Center in front of zero fans on a closed set.

This meant that The Rated R Superstar and The Viper brawled all over WWE's training facility in Orlando, Florida during their encounter. Edge and Orton fought into the the Performance Center's gym, meeting rooms and production facilities.

After a grueling 36 minutes and 35 seconds, Edge was the Last Man Standing, giving Randy Orton a taste of his own medicine and hitting The Viper with a conchairto on top of a WWE production truck.
