Well they better change the wrestlers to Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat if it is the greatest wrestling match ever.

i'm more than certain that edge and orton can have a fantastic match, but geez the naming of the match is so cringe
drew and lashley should be good
i don't care for braun, but hopefully miz and morrison can make the match halfway enjoyable
pls nia don't hurt asuka
not a bad card so far imo

This is why people get irked at things WWE does. Let’s just randomly decide for no reason whatsoever to declare a match possibly the greatest ever weeks before it even happens. They have a need to have a tag line for so many things, but this one went to a different level.

This card looks pretty rough so far if I’m being honest

Hold the phone, WWE really made "The Greatest Show" the theme song for this PPV? I mean the original from the movie is fantastic but what a way to force feed to the audience.
*shivers*

The sad thing is they can script/plan/work the match so that it reads as a five star match, thus putting it in elite status. Then the WWE can brag that they can still "wrestle".
Pretty sure they're giving the strap to Nia too. Sucks.

Well with it taped today we should get word tonight or tomorrow on just how great Edge/Orton is,if not the greatest match of all time surely it will fall into the top ten matches ever and the best match of the 2020's decade right.....

10 mins of Chinlocks from Orton and 10 mins of Edge stalling on the floor, the pacing will be terrible.

I think the card looks pretty good so far. My only complaint is Nia Jax.
I'm guessing some of these will probably be added:
- Bryan vs Styles for the IC Title. They'll probably have a screwy finish on SD, then move the match to the PPV. Or crown the champion on SD, then have the winner face their first challenger on the PPV.
- Cesaro or Nakamura vs Gable on the Kickoff.
- Otis vs Corbin.
- Owens vs Garza
- Black & Humberto vs Murphy & Theory, or Rollins & one of them.

In what universe is this th "greatest wrestling match ever" despite having a long career I do not think I could legit tell you ONE "great" match that Randy Orton has ever had. If it had been Edge vs Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker, AJ Styles or someone who has constantly delivered in the ring when it mattered I could see it, but Randy Orton? I just do not get the promotion for this match at all.

Orton vs Cactus Jack was great,i thought so anyway. Orton hasn't been my fav but he has had some really good matches, a lot of really boring ones as well though.
I have only seen Orton live two times, ironically vs Edge in 2004 which i doubt they will do better on Sunday and vs Benoit and both were probably 4 stars.

I'm pretty sure that all of the greatest match ever talk is because of everyone on Twitter talking about how boring the Mania match was.

Surely branding a match the greatest wrestling match ever is asking for trouble on socials 😂

I have to admit, it's not the best card in the world:
Edge/Orton - I find this entire name cringe. I wish it was just a match, that way there is no expectation as far as delivering meaning its much more likely they will. I have no doubt they will put on a great match but it doesn't leave me getting excited. I hope this is the end of the feud for them both so they can move on. I would love Edge to start a feud with Rollins and for Orton to feud with a younger guy, maybe Black.
I hope Nia doesn't hurt Auska, I hope Asuka retains.
Jeff/Sheamus - this could be a good one. The had a great match on Smackdown a few weeks ago and this is becoming a really good feud.
Drew/Lashley - This could be a good match, I have enjoyed a the build a little. Drew is making a great champion and I feel that he needs to keep it until at least Summerslam.
Woman's Tag - Don't really care for this match, it will add to the drama between Sasha and Bayley ready for their split. I think they will retain.
Why aren't any of the mens tag team belt not on the card?
