While the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" tagline is subjective and had put a lot of pressure on both Superstars, Randy Orton and Edge definitely delivered at Backlash. It was a really great match, to say the least. Going at it for 45 minutes, the two legends went toe-to-toe in a battle of wills.

There were impressive moves, counters, and even tributes to some of the greatest wrestlers of all-time. There was an Angle Slam, a Rock Bottom, and even Eddie Guerrero's Three Amigos among other moves in this contest. The pace gradually picked up, with the Rated-R Superstar's grit matching up to Orton's natural ability.

While WWE used some ambitious production techniques, the in-ring quality was what made this an excellent presentation, and the best match on Backlash. The inventive ways in which Edge and Orton countered each other's moves, using technical and fundamental strategies, made for an even more exciting contest.

Eventually, after multiple false finishes involving other WWE legends' moves along with the Spear and RKO, it was Randy Orton who came away with the victory. It was such a hard-fought battle, that the Viper had to bring back the Punt Kick to put the WWE Hall of Famer down.

But Edge's performance in this match was phenomenal, especially with this being his first straight-up wrestling match in over nine years. Both he and Orton can be very proud of what they accomplished at Backlash.

While you may or may not think that this was the greatest wrestling match ever, Randy Orton and Edge pulled off a monumental effort to legitimately make their Backlash showdown one of the greatest matches in WWE history.

An incredible performance.#WWEBacklash @EdgeRatedR pic.twitter.com/xOf7OlU3fJ
