Adam Copeland Reflects on 'No-Win Situation' in 2020 Match with Randy Orton

Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, recently reflected on his highly promoted 2020 WWE Backlash match against Randy Orton, which was billed as 'The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever.' Copeland described the experience as a 'no-win situation' due to the immense hype and the lack of a live audience caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He expressed pride in the effort he and Orton put forth under difficult circumstances but lamented that wrestling in front of only a handful of trainees diminished the match's atmosphere. Copeland questioned the premise of labeling any bout as the 'greatest' since wrestling is subjective and audience-driven. Despite the challenges, he found the match fun and a great challenge, though he believes it would have been much better with a crowd. Both Copeland and Orton were reportedly stressed by the expectations set by WWE's promotion of the bout.
