WWE WrestleMania 36: Ranking every match on Night 2

#3 Edge vs Randy Orton (Last Man Standing Match)

This went on a bit too long

This was the most anticipated match of the entirety of WrestleMania weekend and while it was good, a couple of critical elements let it down. Randy Orton and Edge fought all over the Performance Center for what felt like an eternity. There was a bit too much unnecessary punching and kicking, which could have been removed from the match.

The Last Man Standing match was not as epic as hoped and the lack of fans in attendance hurt it more than initially expected. Edge and Orton sprinkled a bunch of spectacular moves in between their mobile stalemate, with the final stretch of their grueling contest being absolutely fantastic.

To their credit, the storytelling in this match was excellent. The way in which Edge won was also poetic, with his reactions to everything at the end stealing the moment. There seemed to be genuine emotion within the Rated-R Superstar, as he finished this rivalry with the same move that started it, the con-chair-to.

While there was quite a lot of good, 36 minutes is way too long for a match happening backstage with no audience and no proper commentary.
