Edge vs Randy Orton is tied at 1-1 after the Rated-R Superstar’s WWE return

Edge vs Randy Orton was one of the major talking points on the latest Busted Open podcast.

Dave LaGreca and Bully Ray hosted the show and brought on WWE star Edge for his views.

The Rated-R Superstar is out with an injury suffered at Backlash. He lost the match against Orton and the pair are 1-1 since Edge returned after nearly a decade out.

The Canadian seems to be continuing his rivalry with Orton as he spoke out on Raw. Bully spoke about the score being 1-1 and asked Edge if he was ready for another match in the future.

Edge confirmed he wanted another Orton clash and also hit out at some critics who claimed the “Greatest Wrestling Match” ever was taped over multiple hours:

“To me, it has to. To me ,it has to be a trilogy. We had Backlash and I was really proud with everything that was put in front of us and contrary to the experts, it was not taped over seven or eight hours.

“It was once straight through and then we went back and did four pick-up shots.”

The Greatest Wrestling Match lasted for 40+ minutes or so, and only had a couple of camera cuts, something that Edge spoke about.

It was his idea to include that and he didn’t like it once the first cut came out. However, Vince McMahon was more than happy with it and wanted to see how people react to such experiments.

What’s next in the storyline?

Edge beat Orton in a Last Man Standing match and the Viper got one over at Backlash. Edge was asked about what should be set for the trilogy.

The Rated-R Superstar claimed that it is a challenge to make the third part different from what happened at Backlash.

However, Edge confirmed he was given full control over the creative aspects of this rivalry and even wrote the promos.

The Canadian seems to be thriving in his rivalry versus Orton, and it will be interesting to see what he comes up with next.

Edge will be out for a while due to an injury suffered at Backlash. However, Orton has a new rival to attack and that is The Big Show.
