Edge Provides Update On Injury Recovery

11-time WWE World Champion Edge has provided an update on his recovery from the triceps tear he suffered back in June while taping his match for Backlash.

He suffered the injury taping the ‘Greatest Wrestling Match Ever’ with Randy Orton in June, but fortunately managed to finish the match without it being too noticeable.

Speaking on Busted Open, Edge said he doesn’t have an exact timeframe for a return, but did add that it’s taking longer than he’d have liked. He explained:

“I mean, I don’t know. It’s a learning process because I’m going to be 47 next month, so I didn’t know how I heal from injuries, surgeries [and] things like that. It’s a slow process. I’m not going to lie. The triceps is a different thing. I got back from an Achilles in six months, but I was 35 doing that, so at 10 plus years, I don’t know. It’s a different thing. You don’t realize how much your triceps is involved in almost everything you do in terms of arm movement.

“So, I don’t know yet. I know it’s a lot slower than I thought it was going to be because I just have this mentality of, ‘Right. No big deal. Surgery, PT and we grind through it, we break down the scar tissue and off we go.’ So, I don’t know if it’s the injury itself [or] if it’s I’m a little older, I don’t know what it is, but it’s not as fast as I would’ve liked.”

When Edge suffered the injury in June, it was expected the injury would keep him out for somewhere between four-eight months.
