Yes, the anticipation of who is first and second in the match is always fun, but this is logical. Edge and Orton have a history together that wasn&#8217;t wrapped up in a definitive way due to Edge&#8217;s injury. Because it appears that both are headed in different directions at this point, this positioning in the Royal Rumble allows them the opportunity to address their history without going to a major match of some kind.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/01\/29\/current-status-of-brock-lesnar-and-ronda-rousey-for-royal-rumble\/\">Current status of Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey for Royal Rumble<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-123555054\"><div id=\"pwtor-2611715308\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On tonight&#8217;s return of WWE Backstage on FS1, the first two entries into the men&#8217;s Royal Rumble were revealed.
