Update: Edge undergoes surgery

The Rated R Superstar has undergone surgery, after injuring himself at a WWE Live event, whilst versing Jeff Hardy.


RATED R FOR REDUCED RING TIME

While no one from WWE has made any official comment, people close to Edge say that he came through yesterday’s Achilles tendon surgery as well as they could have hoped for. However, he will be forced to completely stay off the foot for 10 to 14 days. After that, he’ll be able to walk while wearing a rehabilitation boot. Shortly after, he’ll be able to begin his rehab. Depending on how the injury heals, he could be out until around the time of Royal Rumble 2010.

It’s interesting that WWE.com noted Edge’s surgery today as he appears on Friday’s episode of SmackDown which was taped last week.


FINAL THOUGHT

Sucks when superstars become injured. I hope that Edge makes a speedy recovery. Will be interesting to see what WWE do with the Jericho & Edge Tag Champ storyline.

Edge speaks on a rumoured Face turn

Last Thursday, Edge was interviewed by Danny Salas of central California’s B95 radio station. You can listen to the entire segment at B95forlife.com.

Here’s what the Rated R Superstar said about:

TURNING FACE

“There’s a little bit of a groundswell. I’m starting to fell it a little bit… I think a lot of it too is just tenure. When you’re around for a long time the people go, ‘God, he’s been around here a long time and been in some pretty hellacious matches. And when you start to get that on your resume it gets harder and harder for people to boo you. I think that’s what Shawn Michaels ran into and that’s what Undertaker ran into. When you get to a certain point – not that I’m in their league or anything – but once you get to a certain point after a lot of time and a lot of matches that have entertained people it becomes harder and harder for them to boo you. That’s kind of been my challenge for the last little while is to keep them booing me. I think (Chris) Jericho is going through the same thing right now.”

EDGE AND CHRISTIAN REUNION

“I don’t know. I’d like for it to and at some point I think it has to happen whether it’s against each other or whether it’s teaming. I still think it’s fresh in our audience’s minds that it would still mean something. We do have a lot more kids now that might not remember it, but I think enough guys like you and me are still in the crowd that can buzz the kids on it and explain what Edge and Christian is all about it.”
