One of the best rivalries in WWE this year was that between Randy Orton and Edge, who made his return to the company after nine years at Royal Rumble 2020. After their last-man-standing battle at WrestleMania 36, the two took on each other at WWE Backlash in the 'Greatest Wrestling Match Ever'. During an appearance on WWE After The Bell, The Undertaker had huge praise for both the veterans and their match at Backlash.

"It almost brought a tear to my eye. I haven’t seen that kind of wrestling match in so long. I understand the parameters and everything else, that they had a lot of time, but my God, what a story they told. An unbelievable story. I sent Edge a text today saying, ‘The next time I go to the [Performance Center] to work with guys, I’m going to pull that tape up and show these guys and dissect it — not that it won’t be dissected 100 times by then — just the little nuances of what they did. It restored so much faith in where I think the business should be and could be. That tape should be studied by our main roster guys." (h/t Fightful)

.@RandyOrton was a 24 year old kid with the world ahead of him during this time. A rivalry and business I’m very proud of...and you bet I gave him that receipt. #WWEUntold @WWENetwork pic.twitter.com/cIt7yfMoPs

The Undertaker also spoke about how wrestlers these days rely too much on athleticism and not enough on storytelling. The Undertaker has had amazing feuds in the past against both Edge and Randy Orton. Getting such praise from The Undertaker would surely mean a lot to both veterans, who did an amazing job with that match.
