I don't think I'll get much disagreement when I say that this is the best angle heading into WrestleMania this year. While much of the show feels slapped together, particularly on the Blue Brand's side, this story has been emotionally charged from the get-go. Edge's return at the Royal Rumble was triumphant and powerful. Randy Orton's betrayal the night afterward was shocking. His promos afterward were sadistic and strangely justifiable, given his own "concerns" about Edge's health.

Now we got to this segment, where much of that tension was released. This is the kind of storytelling that makes people enjoy professional wrestling in the first place. It probably won't wind up being the match of the night at WrestleMania, but Edge vs. Randy Orton has been the best feud of 2020 so far. I look forward to seeing what WWE does to continue building this in the month remaining until the big show. The people who are writing this story obviously know what they're doing, so I'll give them latitude.
