    Im guessing the reason they are having AJ vs Bryan on SD instead of Backlash is because they dont want it to overshadow " the greatest wrestling match ever"

    The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever will have some way to go to even be the best WWE match of the weekend after Bryan and AJ on Smackdown.

    Greatest march ever? Me bollocks :pac:
    I get it, It's just a name to sell a match. But is it really the right call? :p

    What match could have been called that going in of all of pro wrestling history? Hogan and rock maybe. Not Orton and edge tho.

    Charlie started all this greatest match stuff

    Anyone think any titles will change hands ?

    Will Ottis be smart enough for a successful cash in ?

    Poor Charly for being made say that in the first place. And just seemed so forced. Especially when hear Cole say something like "Some are calling it the greatest match ever".
    They'll probably equate a great match with a long match and just really drag out with multiple RKO attempts

    Spear into an RKO

    Be nice if they ended the current programme here but have a feeling it will drag on into Summerslam

    Edge might not even face someone else in 2020

    Hopefully the iconics or Alexa and Nikki win the tag belts and get them as far away as possible from Sasha banks. I mean if she loses tonight it'll will have been considered a long reign. I hope after tonight Bayley concentrates on being the smackdown champ again and with what looks like a feud with Sasha I hope Bayley wins the feud.

    Is there even a point of watching this ppv or any ppv from the wwe anymore as they just repeat the matches the next night on RAW and the following Smackdown 80% of the time. Also since this has already been recorded and the writing team has been sacked and Prichard taking over i have a feeling this ppv will be very quickly forgotten about.

    The whole show has not been pre taped btw. I think it's the edge vs Orton match that's been pre taped. Even edge thought the title greatest ever was a joke at first.

    A thought that Miz and Morrison will win, to enable Otis and Tucker to cash it occurred to me during the week and I can’t shake it..

    WWE are clearly out of ideas, would at least have people discuss the product, despite it being silly

    Miz and Morrison's new song makes me think of Joe Hendry.

    Maybe this won't be the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. Maybe it's just a tribute

    I'm finding this a nice filler break honestly. Which is what it is meant to be.

    A fantastic match and storytelling from two of the all time greats in Edge and Orton. No need for high spot after high spot like you see these spot monkey's doing these days. Just hard hitting wrestling from start to finish.

    Overall another enjoyable ppv by the wwe during this tough times. Hopefully they keep it going throughout the summer.
