Edge vs Randy Orton at Backlash

Edge is set to face Randy Orton again at Backlash in a proper wrestling match. The Rated R Superstar faced off against the Viper back in April as well at WrestleMania 36.

Orton challenged Edge 2 weeks ago at Monday Night RAW and it was accepted by the Rated R Superstar last week. The match has been termed as the 'greatest wrestling match ever' by WWE and is being promoted that way.

The former WWE champion made a stunning return to WWE at Royal Rumble this year after retiring 9 years ago.
