WWE Chris Jericho

The immediate creative reaction to Edge suffering a torn Achilles tendon at the live event this past Friday was to figure out a way to get the belts on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. Over the weekend, those plans changed as they were looking to have Edge make one final appearance on television by giving his Unified WWE Tag Team Championship belt to Dolph Ziggler, and proceed from there. However, it was noted that given how things work in the company, that plan would likely change a dozen times between now and this Monday’s television taping in Orlando, when the final decision would likely be announced. At this point, they no longer have plans to make Ziggler Jericho’s tag team partner.

At one point over the weekend, there was talk about keeping the Colons together, editing out Carlito’s turn on Primo on this past Monday’s taped airing of Raw. However, that idea is off the board because they ended up airing the turn on Raw.

Dave Batista - The Animal

According to insider sources, Batista is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday morning for a torn biceps muscle that he sustained in a match just before his bout with Randy Orton at “Extreme Rules” 2 nights ago. The injury was most likely the reason their match only lasted just over 7 minutes.

WWE Superstar Batista is expected to miss several months of ring time as a result of a torn hamstring. The injury began giving him problems during last month’s European tour and has only gotten worse. His injury is serious enough that he is expected to undergo surgery to remedy the problem soon. Randy Orton’s punt kick to his head last week on Raw was the storyline reason for Batista’s disappearance from television.

Several sources are questioning the articles on WWE.com regarding the details on Batista’s injury. The WWE is claiming Batista’s hamstring was actually injured way back at SummerSlam, in the same match that World Heavyweight Champion John Cena was forced out of action with a neck injury actually. While Batista might have tweaked his hamstring in the match, there is no way he had a full tear at that time. The reason for this is because if Batista really tore his hamstring in the match, one would have seen a massive difference in the size of the two legs since he doesn’t wear long pants. The back of one of his legs would have been empty, so the thought he’s worked for weeks, or months, with a full tear is highly unlikely. The injury really started giving him problems during last month’s European tour, which worsened to the point of him needing surgery.

According to those snoops at Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Our favorite Dead Man, The Undertaker, was seriously limping in the ring during parts of his matches on the overseas tour last week as one of his knees is bothering him. The Undertaker had arthroscopic surgery during his time off and his knee was in worse shape than first thought.

And if that’s not enough, he’s also reportedly in the beginning stages of arthritis. Following surgery, the expectation was that he’d be ready to return for good at his Hell in a Cell match with Edge at SummerSlam, but he took a few more weeks off from doing anything really physical. Despite the lingering injury, he’s still being booked on house shows in tag matches and his TV taping dark matches are usually kept short.
