Edge Injury Update: Almost Career-Threatening

Triple H may be returning at SummerSlam, but another superstar will be out of the ring for awhile.

WWE.com has an article up about Edge's successful surgery on his torn left pectoral muscle this past weekend in Birminham, AL with Dr. James Andrews.

The article also noted that the injury turned out to be much more serious than previously thought, with Dr. Andrews discovering that Edge had a quote "complete tear of the tendon attaching to the muscle – right off the bone."

"I didn’t think that the tear would be as significant as what we found when we went in. Initially, we had thought it was a partial tear, but it turned out to be much more significant – the injury could have been career-threatening if not properly repaired," said Dr. Andrews.

Edge is expected to spend the first four weeks after surgery healing and then an extra three to four months of full recovery.
