However, he raised a lot of eyebrows by reviewing the Edge vs Randy Orton matchup which took place at WWE Backlash 2020. According to CM Punk, Randy Orton could have performed better against Edge. CM Punk also said that he has seen Edge feature in better matches in the past as compared to his last fight at WWE Backlash 2020.
"It wasn't the greatest match of all time. I have seen better Randy Orton matches and I have seen better Edge matches. But to do that in the marquee to maybe get people to watch, I kind of feel like it was a lot of unnecessary pressure, especially on Edge who is coming back after almost a decade of not wrestling. They did a great job at compartmentalising it and almost ignoring it and just going out all out there inside the ring," said CM Punk on WWE Backstage
