Like Money in the Bank, much of the promotion for Backlash was centered around the main event. Dubbed the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever", Edge vs Randy Orton was undoubtedly the biggest match of the night. But WWE did a better job with the undercard of Backlash, with a few quality matches.

Some of the highlights included a solid brawl between Sheamus and Jeff Hardy, Sasha Banks and Bayley retaining their Women's Tag Team Championship, and one hell of a match between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley.

The two heavyweights slugged it out in an intense contest, with Lashley looking as good as he ever has in WWE. The finish may have been questionable, with Lana running in, but this was an excellent showcase of both Lashley and McIntyre. We also saw a weird cinematic segment featuring the Street Profits and the Viking Raiders, as well as Akira Tozawa, some ninjas, and a "dumpster monster".

And then, it was time for the main event. WWE went all out in the production of the match between Edge and Orton, using various techniques as well as piped-in crowd noises. However, it was the action in the ring that stood out. The two WWE legends put their heart and soul into this match as they hit each other with every move they had and some more.

An incredible performance.#WWEBacklash @EdgeRatedR pic.twitter.com/xOf7OlU3fJ

There were tributes to some of the greatest wrestlers ever like Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, and The Rock, while Edge's grit matched up to Orton's natural ability. Finally, after over 45 minutes of breathtaking action, the Viper put Edge away with the Punt Kick. This match lived up to expectations and may just be one of the greatest wrestling matches ever.
