WWE Confirms Edge’s Injury, Announces Surgery

WWE confirmed reports of Edge’s injury Tuesday, giving a full description of how the Achilles tendon tear occurred at this week’s live event.

According to the WWE story, Edge underwent surgery with Dr. James Andrews in Alabama this morning. WWE noted that it plans to have comments from Edge and his doctor later today.

As a further note, WWE acknowledged that it must soon address the fate of the Unified Tag Championship, which Edge shares with Chris Jericho. Given the fact that Friday’s SmackDown! was already taped with Edge and Jericho as champions, it will be interesting to see how WWE reconciles Edge’s ability to work on Friday’s show with the now-confirmed injury.
