The bout has been promoted as "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" by WWE. Edge has now posted a heartfelt message for the WWE Universe on his official Twitter handle. The WWE legend had a lot to share, but one thing that stood out was his statement about what fans can expect from him and Orton at Backlash.
Edge said that when fans watch Backlash, they will see two wrestlers, two professionals, giving them everything they have on that night. He further dubbed Orton as his greatest opponent, and added that even though the tagline of the match is subjective, he will walk out of Backlash with his head held high. Check out the tweet below:
Edge and Randy Orton last fought at WrestleMania 36
Edge made his miraculous return to WWE at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV, and went on to engage in a fierce rivalry with his former tag team partner, Randy Orton. The feud led to a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36, which Edge won.
The rivalry didn't end here, and the two veterans are going to settle the score in "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" at Backlash, this Sunday.

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.
