The former World Champion shared his opinion on his rivalry with Randy Orton and also opened up on whether he would have liked to see the duo reunite as Rated RKO again. Edge said that he would have loved to see the Rated RKO have another run in WWE.
Edge and Orton formed Rated RKO in 2006 to take on DX
Edge is all set to take on Orton at the upcoming Backlash PPV in what's being billed as "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever". The WWE legend teamed up with Randy Orton back in late 2006 in an attempt to put an end to the reunited D-Generation X.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels had defeated Vince and Shane McMahon in a feud that lasted for months and the villains wanted to make sure that the same story didn't repeat with them.
The two teams feuded over the next few months before the rivalry came to an end at New Years Revolution 2007. Triple H suffered an injury that led to Michaels teaming up with John Cena to take on Edge and Orton. After WrestleMania 23, Edge moved to SmackDown, thus effectively marking the end of Rated RKO.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
