I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again—THIS was the best match of my career. I can’t emphasize enough how proud I was of this match and how much respect I have for Randy Orton as a worker and as a person. Backlash 2004 was truly a night to remember.

Orton is currently 1/2 of the WWE RAW Tag Tag Team Champions with Riddle. RK-Bro will put their title on the line in a winners take all unification match against the Uso’s at WrestleMania Backlash.
