05. Randy Orton Vs. Edge – Backlash 2020
The number 05 spot belongs to ‘The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever’ between frenemies Edge & Orton. Edge returned at Royal Rumble 2020 & shocked the WWE Universe. Following night on RAW, Orton destroyed Edge with his own move ‘Chair Toe’. Both men faced each other at Wrestlemania in a Last man Standing match, where Edge came out victorious. But, match was not upto the mark. Few weeks later, Orton challenges Edge in a ‘Greatest Wrestling Match Ever’ at Backlash
During the match, Orton and Edge used their own finishing moves on each other and paid homage to other WWE Hall of Famers and legends by using their finishing moves, such as Kurt Angle’s Angle Slam, Batista’s Batista Bomb, Triple H’s Pedigree, Eddie Guerrero’s Three Amigos, The Rock’s Rock Bottom, and Christian’s Killswitch. In a desperate moment while the referee was not looking, Orton performed a low blow on Edge and then performed a Punt on him to win the match that lasted nearly 45 minutes.
I always liked his match vs Cactus Jack at Bashlack ’04. That match truly made his career (and eventual ‘Legend Killer’ character as well).
