Every Edge Vs Randy Orton PPV Match Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Over The Limit - 2010

This match was afflicted by suffering a bad case of misfortune. Plain and simple.

In what was just their second ever pay-per-view singles contest, and first in six years, Orton and Edge were plonked in the middle of a generally underwhelming card while in the midst of a short feud that was yet to find its feet.

While the contents of the match aren't exactly terrible, piecing together a very solid opening ten minutes building towards a strong finish thanks to their their solid chemistry as a tag team, the abrupt end to the bout cost it big time.

Around the aforementioned 10-minute mark, Orton rolled into his trademark coil, setting up for the RKO and banging the mat with his fists. Then disaster struck.

While banging his arms down, as he always had, The Viper sensationally separated his shoulder, immediately pulling up and clutching at his dangling arm. The referee threw up the x symbol and the two rivals were forced to rush the finish. They took each other to the outside where Edge would attempt a spear on Orton who ducked out of harms way. Edge speared the barricade. Both men down. Double count-out result.

Interestingly, despite being a perennial heel for much of his career, Orton was a huge crowd favourite for this match, with the Detroit faithful chanting his name and cheering every little comeback and big move, while jeering Edge at every turn.
