Edge tore his triceps during the filming of the Greatest Wrestling Match ever at WWE Backlash this spring. He was a guest recently on Busted Open Radio and gave an update on when he might be able to return to the ring.
\”It\’s a slow process. I\’m not going to lie,\” Edge said on his recovery. \”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.\”
In terms of a time frame for return, Edge isn\’t sure. His recovery has not gone as quickly as he had hoped.
\”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.\”
Edge noted that now, at 47 years-old, he may have to be more patient with his body.
\”I just assume by three months, I should be almost ready to go and that\’s not the case. So, maybe I just need a little more patience with my body now,\” he continued.
He continued to say that his recovery won\’t be more difficult than returning from neck issues or Achilles\’ problems was. As a result of his age, however, it will take longer.
\”Nothing is going to be harder than the neck was nor the Achilles for that matter, so it might just take a little longer than I want this time. So I have to come to grips with that, and I have to realize I\’m dealing with a different reality now.\”
Edge does not have a time frame for his return but is looking forward to coming back when he is able to.
\”So, I\’ll get back. I don\’t know what the time frame is, but I will because when I do watch, man, I get excited because I\’m chomping at the bit to get in there with guys and really just try and hands-on, show them and just the difference of how it can be.\”
