Big Update On The WWE Contract Signed By Hall Of Famer Edge
The segment reportedly received that kind of reaction from the audience which is rare from the audience. Edge is always considered to be an all-rounder while working with co-workers while delivering segments or matches. He delivered once again by selling the attack of Randy Orton, as much as possible.
Orton is such a great heel, man. Played that ending to #Raw perfectly and Edge sold it like the legend he is. What a fantastic angle.
