Edge also talked about his WWE return and revealed that he wanted another tag team run with his former Rated RKO partner. "I would have loved to see Rated RKO take another ride together," said Edge. However, on the WWE RAW episode after Royal Rumble 2020, Randy Orton betrayed Edge and attacked him right after the two hugged each other and decided to bring back Rated RKO.
“The audience that night… you heard it, they wanted it too, and I was more than willing to travel that road,” said Edge.

WWE Backlash: Has Edge vs Randy Orton 2 already been taped
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez revealed that WWE has already taped Edge vs Randy Orton 2. Alvarez said that the match was shot on Sunday and is expected to be 30-35 minutes long. “They tried very hard to actually have the best wrestling that they can,” Alvarez added.
“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.”

How did Rated RKO come to be?
Rated RKO was created by combining Edge's wrestling nickname, ‘Rated-R Superstar’ and Randy Orton’s initials, RKO (Randy Keith Orton). 'RKO' is also the name of his special move. Rated RKO dominated WWE in 2006, but in 2007, the two parted ways after Rated RKO lost the WWE World Tag Team Championship. After losing their title, Randy Orton and Edge started having some internal troubles and the duo faced each other in many singles matches. Following the split, Edge moved to WWE SmackDown and Randy Orton continued his stay on the WWE RAW roster.
