Who doesn't want to see Randy Orton vs. Edge paid off at WrestleMania 36?

This programme has stayed tremendous despite the empty buildings. The duo have adapted their promos to the lack of audience by slowing things down, deepening their tones, and getting as intimate and personal as they possibly can. Without a live crowd, their words hang in the air and don't go away. They are weightier, more impactful, and hit harder, and if they can adapt this to the ring, Edge and Orton are going to kill it. These guys know what the hell they're doing.

Edge vs. Orton's Last Man Standing stipulation guarantees chaos, with the action sure to spill away from ringside before long. It's going to be a wild, unruly, spiteful fight. They'll travel all across the arena floor and likely through the building's further reaches as well, with the platform King Corbin shoved Elias from potentially coming into play for, at the very least, a 10-count tease. They'll be cutting mini-promos throughout and totally focused on damaging each other, not working to a crowd that isn't there. Every drop of venom and bile will service the story.

Nothing on this WrestleMania card is more 2020-proof than Edge vs. Orton. Nothing.
