EDGE INJURY NEWS

For those of you who were away over the holiday weekend, welcome back.

The biggest news you may have missed is unfortunately, sad news as WWE Unified Tag Team champion Edge suffered an injury to his Achilles Heel tendon on Friday.  The injury is expected to keep him out of the ring until January 2010 at its first diagnosis, although there is always a chance that could be changed.

Mark Carpowich's original report of the injury from the San Diego WWE event reads:

The final match before intermission was Edge versus Jeff Hardy. Edge jawjacked with fans along the aisle as he approached the ring, even tearing up a sign along the way. He also repeated the same spot three times before the match got started - standing on the ropes, then pretending to slip off - with decreasing humor every time. Almost immediately after the bout started, however, Edge went down with what appeared to be an injury to his left ankle. Edge was standing in the corner, and when Hardy charged at him, Edge tried to leapfrog him and came down wrong on his leg. Interestingly, Steamboat's injury earlier in the evening (which at first appeared legit, until McIntyre started working on it) happened the exact same way. As Hardy backed off, the ref gave the "X" signal, and Justin Roberts announced that because Edge could not continue, Hardy was the winner. As two referees helped him to the back, Edge grabbed the house mic and simply said "sorry" to the fans.<
