WWE Backlash was an event that would remain in the hearts of fans as Randy Orton and Adam Edge settled their scores in the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever.
The fight saw both the American and Canadian used finishing moves of The Rock’s Rock Bottom, Kurt Angle’s Angle Slam Christian’s Unprettier and Triple H’s Pedigree but that did not end the match.
Randy delivered to RKO’s and it did not pin Edge until he landed a punt to the head which earned him a 1-2-3 count for the win.
