One of the memorable moments of the last few months of WWE was the Backlash main event, a paid event that took place on June 14, 2020 at the Performance Center and saw Edge and Randy Orton face off in the “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever”.
This very special meeting, which lasted almost three quarters of an hour, has heavily divided critics and fans: there are those who actually considered it a very high level contest and those who could not stand the approach of the company, which decided to give this label to a match yet to be played. But the one who did everything to present himself at the highest possible level at the event was Randy Orton, as confirmed by two of his colleagues and friends who even in the meantime had already left the WWE.
These are the Revival, ie Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, in the meantime moved to AEW where they fight under the acronym FTR and with the names of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. Just Dax spoke with ‘Fightful Select’, in an interview in which once again has targeted WWE and some of its questionable decisions on the creative front. But he also took the opportunity to reveal that it’s all true, and that Randy Orton actually wanted to train with him and Wheeler to prepare for such an important match.
Randy Orton and training with Revival: here’s why
“Randy’s respect for our work and our work ethic is such that he made a decision, and I don’t know if he likes us to tell it, but he won’t be too angry as he really loves us – he said. Harwood – Well, he took a flight to Ashville so he could work with us in preparing for Backlash’s Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. The reason is that he wanted to prepare in the best way possible, hone his technique in the ring and stuff. . Now there is a really deep bond and friendship between us “.
That Randy Orton had prepared his epochal challenge with Edge precisely with the former Revival it was something that had been talked about before, but only at the level of chatter. In the meantime, however, an important confirmation has arrived from those directly involved, and we will now have to ask ourselves how WWE has taken the news.
