The only thing bringing down Edge vs. Randy Orton at this point is the fact that WWE insisted on calling it "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" even before the match has happened (the bout has reportedly been taped recently).

Apart from that, Edge and Randy Orton's Backlash showdown was hyped through an excellent segment on this week's episode of WWE RAW.

Edge displayed his acting chops in the best way possible, and it was clever of Christian to bring out the old Edge by applying reverse psychology on his former tag team partner.

During the segment's peak, Randy Orton interrupted this unusual reunion by saying that he will put a definite end to Edge's redemption story. Apparently, Christian's motivation got under The Viper's skin. Even though Orton attempted at sowing doubt in Edge once again, The Rated-R Superstar finally looked like he believed in himself ahead of WWE Backlash.

As a whole, this was good storytelling that mixed kayfabe with reality at the same time. "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" tagline has not only prompted WWE fans to question Edge and Randy Orton's ability to pull this off, but we also got to know that Edge's onscreen character (as well as the real Edge) may have doubted himself to accomplish the same.
