Since this is the match that all of you probably want to talk about the most, this is the match we'll focus on for now. "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" between Edge and Randy Orton is officially in the books and of course, it wasn't the greatest. It wasn't even close to the greatest, but we like that the tagline used by WWE managed to reach so many people that it created a buzz for the match in itself.

While their WWE WrestleMania 36 bout went on for more than 36 minutes, this match would go on for a whopping 44 minutes and 45 seconds. One of the longest PPV matches in recent times, it was also far better than their encounter at WrestleMania.

One of the big flaws of the match wasn't the storytelling, but the fact that they ended up kicking out of many finishes, including the Three Amigos, The Pedigree, The Rock Bottom, and the WWE Superstars own respective finishers as well.

That aside, Orton took a shot at WWE NXT and Tommaso Ciampa following his leg slap finish.
