Randy Orton was just another heel on the WWE roster until he started his personal rivalry with Edge on the road to WrestleMania 36. The Rated-R Superstar made his WWE return after almost nine years at the 2020 Royal Rumble. The next night on RAW, he and Randy Orton started what was arguably the best feud on this year's WrestleMania.

Randy Orton didn't leave any stone unturned as he channeled the most vicious heel inside him making for some compelling segments. While it was Edge who came out victorious at the Show of Shows this year, the two had a rematch at WWE Backlash 2020. In what was labeled as the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever, Randy Orton defeated Edge after bringing back his Punt Kick.

The original plan was to have their third match at WWE SummerSlam, but Edge suffered an injury at Backlash and will now be out of action for some time. But if the reports are to be believed, WWE already has penciled-in on having Edge vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37 in an I Quit Match. Moreover, WWE is looking to add the WWE Championship into the picture to raise the stakes.
