Randy Orton and Edge battled in the final match of WWE Backlash. Their contest was billed as the Greatest Wrestling Match ever, but how did fans react?
Edge and Randy Orton tore each other apart. The two long-time friends and foes took each other to the limit. Orton bled, Eddie Guerrero got a tribute with a 3 Amigos suplex, and there were plenty of near falls.
This match saw tributes to Triple H, Christian, and The Rock by using their finishers during the match. Bret Hart’s Sharpshooter was teased as well. Plenty of other hidden homages were planted throughout it.
Finally, after Randy Orton and Edge both kicked out of each other’s finishers twice, Orton pulled an old trick out of his toolbox: a punt to the head. This move helped Randy Orton obtain the victory at Backlash.
The IWC was full of opinions about Edge & Randy Orton’s match. Some people loved it while others weren’t fans. It’s debatable that it was the Greatest Wrestling Match ever because that is such a subjective statement.
Fans had plenty of say about the match and WWE pumping in crowd noise. You can check out some of the reaction to the Backlash main event below.

The piped in fans are right. This match is awesome. #WWEBacklash— Steve (@SteveTheShoeGod) June 15, 2020
Love the angle Slam and pedigree from Orton, and now edge with the Rock bottom, and unprittier and almost a sharpshooter #WWEBacklash— 11roop2423 (@RMarkoe) June 15, 2020
Holy shit they are going to piss off so many legends by having their finishers kicked out of. The shitstorm to follow this match is going to be unreal.Rock Bottom, Pedigree, Angle Slam, probably more I’m missing and more to come, this is going to be amazing lmfao. #WWEBacklash

Well at least that Eddie tribute was better than their Chris Benoit tribute at Wrestlemania #WWEBacklash— Desert Shark (@DesertShark92) June 15, 2020
NGL Orton vs Edge is up there for one of the greatest PURE wrestling matches of all time. I love it so far. #WWEBacklash— UFC Simp (@UFCsimp) June 15, 2020
This match is good…..BUT IAM STILL PISSED AT THE TAG TEAM MATCH #WWEBacklash— Black Fame (@JRick10) June 15, 2020
Randy Orton and Edge are having one hell of a match. #WWE #WWEBacklash— Dave (@DaveFlame45) June 15, 2020
These two are really going all out #WWEBacklash— Michael Quezada (@hi_itsmichael25) June 15, 2020
regardless about how people feel about them calling this the greatest match ever, it’s still been a really good match so far and if there’s one thing you can take from it regardless of the result, @edge most definitely has NOT missed a step, no ring rust whatsoever. #WWEBacklash— Supreme_Wrastling (@SWrastling) June 15, 2020
@WWE can we get a story line where @RandyOrton goes after new nxt talent, he brings back the punt kick and destroys them. That’d be sick #WWEBacklash— Donovan Miller (@DonoGF69) June 15, 2020

Why the FUCK is the referee counting for a countout during the so-called ‘Greatest Match Ever?’ #WWEBacklash— MAFIOSO 💰 (@mafiosoLIVE) June 15, 2020
This is my 2nd most favourite match of all time #WWEBacklash— jamie camm (@jamie_camm) June 15, 2020
yes Edge is certainly in shock that Orton wasn’t pinned by the edgeomatic that has ended approximately (checks notes) 0 matches #WWEBacklash— the grizzled old rookie (@JBLsDragon) June 15, 2020

Edge kicked out of a PEDIGREE
HOLY CRAP#WWEBacklash— MICHAEL G GRIST (@MICHAELGGRIST) June 15, 2020
Orton kicked out of 2 spears!! Now I thought Edge had it! #WWEBacklash— Vladimir (@VladimirWWE96) June 15, 2020
Far too many false finishes. Absolutely destroying wrestling. #WWEBacklash— Jimbo the Red (@LiverpoolWeAre) June 15, 2020
Omfg FINALLY. This match was nice, but then it turned out so long, that it was unbearable. #WWEBacklash— Mine (@MegaMineStar) June 15, 2020
Was it “tHe gReAtEst WrEsTLiNg MaTCH eVeR” no. We knew it wouldn’t be. It was a VERY sick match though (bit too long but that’s ok). Loved the use of the iconic wrestling moves. Edge and Randy Orton main eventing a PPV in 2020, what a dream 👏🏾 #WWEBacklash— Rosemary (@__Roseee92) June 15, 2020
