More Details On Orton/Edge WWE Backlash Match Revealed

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez revealed the length of the match as it happened live. However, because the match is taped, WWE could edit the match to fit the time and make it the most exciting for the viewing audience.

“All I know is that it’s already been taped. I believe they went around 30-35 minutes. So, if you were expecting an 18-minute match after they went 45 minutes at WrestleMania then think again. They tried very hard to actually have the best wrestling that they can.”

Meltzer had already reported the duo tried very hard to have a great match. Alvarez addressed the potential to edit the match down to make it the best it can.

“I was given the impression that the match was 30-35 minutes. Now, it was taped, and there was a reason that they taped it, I believe last Sunday for airing the following Sunday. They want this match to be perfect, at least until whatever they do for the finish.

“So, however long they wrestled, if they watched the match, it’s dragging here, Orton’s 8th headlock, you know, too much blah blah blah, they can chop the match down. I don’t know how long the match is going to be when they are done; I’m just telling you how long it appears when they went live. They could edit this down to 25 minutes, and they could edit this down to 18 minutes, or maybe the full 35 minutes. So, I’m only telling you what I was told in terms of the actual length of the match that they did live.”

Randy Orton’s wrestling style is typically not conducive to a 35-minute match. Hopefully, someone in the back will be smart about how they edit the match to maximize its impact and quality.
