WWE legend Edge made a sensational return to the ring in January after a four-year retirement due to a neck injury in 2011. However, his comeback was short-lived as he suffered a serious injury during a match against Randy Orton on June 14.
According to reports, Edge tore his tricep during the epic 40-minute match, which lived up to its billing as the 'Greatest Wrestling Match Ever.' The injury could potentially rule him out of a trilogy fight with Orton at SummerSlam.
Edge, real name Adam Copeland, is understood to have suffered the injury just months after his return to the ring. The 46-year-old had fought Orton at Wrestlemania 36, defeating him before being challenged to face him again.
Despite the injury, Edge's return to the ring was met with excitement from fans, who were treated to a thrilling 40-minute match. However, the double tragedy of losing the fight and suffering a career-threatening injury has left Edge's future in doubt.
Orton eventually defeated Edge after landing a punt to the head of the 46-year-old, leaving fans stunned. The two wrestlers are scheduled to face off at the SummerSlam, but Edge's injury has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated match.
