Edge vs Randy Orton criticised

Edge vs Randy Orton was criticised for another major reason. During the match, Randy Orton was seen choking Edge with a weight cable. Many believe WWE was taking a shot at Chris Benoit who committed suicide while hanging himself with a weight cable after murdering his wife and younger son in rage in 2007. After the incident, WWE took Chris Benoit’s name out of their history. WWE even refused to induct Chris Benoit in WWE Hall of Fame.
