18 HUGE WWE WrestleMania 36 Predictions You Need To Know

4. Edge Vs. Randy Orton

Edge drove 17 hours to cut one of the best promos of the year on Randy Orton when he finally returned to Raw weeks removed from 'The Apex Predator' attempting to send him back into retirement.

The world was a remarkably different place when Edge made a surprise appearance at the 2020 Royal Rumble, but 'The Rated-R Superstar' and his former tag team partner have done their best to make it feel like the insane intervening weeks haven't impacted their real-feeling rivalry.

Their powerful promos have landed as hard as Orton's post-Rumble chairshots and the decision to keep them physically separated for the most part has been inspired. It's unclear what Edge will do after the 'Show Of Shows' (or, for that matter, what WWE as a whole will look like in the immediate aftermath), but evidence thus far suggests he'll be of enormous value beyond this dramatic reintroduction. It's the least he deserves after some of these hellish commutes.

Winner - Edge
