12 matches that didn't go as planned in 2020: Clash between two former WWE Champions nixed

#5: Edge vs Randy Orton at WWE SummerSlam

The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever

Edge made his return to WWE at Royal Rumble early this year. The Rated-R Superstar had announced his retirement from WWE nine years ago. When he returned during the Royal Rumble Match, he received a heroic welcome.

Since his return to WWE, Edge sparked a feud with his former teammate, Randy Orton. The two first clashed in a Last Man Standing Match at WrestleMania that Edge won. The two then met in a match at WWE Backlash, which Randy Orton won.

At WWE Backlash, Edge tore his tricep thus putting an end to a possible rubber match between the two Superstars. WWE had planned the third match between them for WWE SummerSlam but that was scrapped due to The Rater-R Superstar's injury.
