The match lasted 35 minutes in its entirety. This doesn’t mean that the end product which fans will see at Backlash will be the same. Pacing issues during the fight, bad camera angles, etc. are usually cut out of such matches in post-production.
“They could edit this down to 25 minutes, and they could edit this down to 18 minutes, or maybe the full 35 minutes. So, I’m only telling you what I was told in terms of the actual length of the match that they did live.”
The match had an almost impossible bar to reach. It is expected to be better than so many legendary bouts in the WWE. Very few Superstars have the ability to live up to the match, other than Randy Orton and Edge. It is also great to know that the WWE is also committed to making this an amazing match.
