Edge recently appeared on the Cheap Heat podcast and responded to people that have criticized his matches at Wrestlemania 36 and Backlash for being too long:
“If people wanna complain that my first match back I go 41 minutes — that’s your complaint. I’m not supposed to be doing this! After nine years and a triple fusion in my neck, I went out there for 41 minutes. People complained that Bill [Goldberg] and Brock [Lesnar] go out and do four [minutes] — so what is it? What do you want? I’m gonna to bust my ass and I’m going to try and give you the best product I possibly can, because I’m not gonna phone it in. To me, that’s what WrestleMania was [and] that’s what Backlash was. I think if you total the time of my three matches, I’ve probably put in more time than both of those guys since they’ve been back.”
