Edge Injured

[PAU]

Edge was injured tonight in a match with Jeff Hardy in San Diego. About five minutes into the match he suffered what at this point is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon and the match had to be stopped. Edge apologized to the fans before being taken out.

The match started with posturing so they were really only a minute into the actual action when the injury took place. It appeared he simply planted his foot wrong and went down with his leg at a bad angle. EMTs came to give him help before he was taken from the ring.

That is a serious injury that would likely require surgery and a long period of down time. We'll have more on this as we get updated. The rest of the Smackdown crew has to leave first thing tomorrow for a flight to Honolulu.

An update from WWE is that most likely they are going to try and figure a way to get the belts on Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. Right now they are looking at footage of the Edge vs. Great Khali match taped Wednesday night in Bakersfield trying to find a spot where they can claim a storyline injury to Edge if the torn Achilles tendon turns out to be the accurate diagnosis.

Ugh, that sucks.

Jesus, this is cursed to hell.

Edge is cursed to hell more like. Boring fucker needs a break anyway. Jericho can be the tag champions on his own.

Although, they could very well take this oppotunity to get someone over huge - by pairing them up with Jericho. Jericho could run a contest or some shit, or Teddy Long could say; "Word up playa! You new tag team partner is THE UNDERTAKER!!!" and Jericho could be all like "WOAH! Hold on a second there Teddy!" and Teddy's all like "NO! You hold on playa!"

Jericho and The Undertaker could play the odd couple for a month or two and then BOOM! Jericho attacks him or some shit and we get to see THE UNDERTAKER VS. CHRIS MOTHERFUCKING JERICHO! And forget the tag belts ever existed.

I am fucking excellent.

Can they not say, "Edge was injured in a match with Jeff Hardy"? Why must they turn everything into an angle?

[wyndorf]

I assume that bit was just speculated by whomever wrote it up - they just figured they'd leave out the speculated bit and write it as fact.

Sure they could just say Edge got hurt at a house show, but that kinda gives him no revenge angle. Probably be better than Edge coming back in say December - after loads of hype - probably as a babyface....and seeking revenge on The Great Khali.

Best thing to do here is the 'ol; Edge was attacked by a mystery masked man - who in all likelyhood talks like Ole Anderson.

Who turned out to be Ric Flair....

There have been reports from the Figure Four Weekly newsletter that a possible plan for the WWE tag team titles is for Edge to hand over his title belts to a replacement partner for Chris Jericho. The talk backstage was that the new partner would be Dolph Ziggler.

WWE is very high on Dolph Ziggler right now, and being put with Chris Jericho would likely give Ziggler a huge rub.

One of the reasons for putting the tag titles on Jericho & Edge were to help give the titles some credibility by having them on both Raw & Smackdown.

There is no word on how the tag title match at Night of Champions is effected.

See, I'm not really into Dolph Ortiz - so, swap him with THE UNDERTAKER and BAM! It'll be great.

[The Celtic Warrior]

Tarnishing Dolph Ziggler with the Ortiz disease? im disgusted at you Stuart.

[El Moobio]

I love Edge, but Ziggler and Jericho would be pretty much the best tag team of all time.

[OMAR DAYS]

Dolph Ziggler does rule.

[Wolverine]

Indeed, he's pretty awesome.
