WWE Hall of Famer Edge was injured during Backlash back in June, reportedly when he and Randy Orton were filming additional content for what WWE billed as the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" (it was very good, but most definitely not the greatest wrestling match ever).
The hope was that Edge would be back in time for next year's WrestleMania, but during an interview with Busted Open Radio, he admitted that his recovery isn't going quite as well as he expected.
"It’s a learning process because I’m going to be 47 next month," Edge admitted. "So, I didn’t know how I would heal from injuries and surgery. It’s a slow process. I’m not going to lie. The tricep is a different thing. I got back from an achilles in 6 months but I was 35 doing that, so add 10 plus years. It’s a different thing."
"You don’t realize how much your tricep is involved in almost everything you do in terms of arm movement," he continued. "So, I don’t really know yet. I know it’s a lot slower than I thought it was going to be because I have this mentality of right, no big deal, surgery, P.T. and we grind through it. We break down the scar tissue and off we go. I don’t know if it’s the injury itself or if it’s because I’m a little older. I don’t know what it is but it’s not as fast as I would have liked."
We certainly hope Edge recovers quickly, but the impact of his return has definitely been lessened somewhat by this injury and it would be awful if he's unable to get back into the ring after the injury he suffered which ended his career.
