Mounting Injuries Plague the WWE

With staples in WWE as big as Triple H, The Undertaker, Bobby Lashley and Mr.Kennedy suffering from lingering and major injuries it makes you wonder just what is going to happen in the World Wrestling Entertainment story line. With the loss of Triple H this past January, we all watched the recently united Degeneration X slowly fizzle out, into extinction. Recently, a large number of main event-ers have sustained major injuries themselves.

It has previously been reported that Mr.Kennedy former Wrestlemania 23, "Money In The Bank" winner sustained a major tear to his tricept which would lead to iminent surgery. It has recently been reported by several online wrestling sites that Mr.Kennedy will only be out six to eight weeks. Even though his injury is not as bad as it may have been conceived to be, he did loose his Money In The Bank Contract to Edge this past Monday night on Raw. Edge then capitalized on the Undertaker's injury and cashed in his Money In The Bank contract to become the new Smackdown Heavy Weight Champion.

The Undertaker's short lived Heavy Weight Championship reign came to an end this past Tuesday at the Smackdown taping. Edge capitalizing not just on Mr.Kennedy but also Taker's injury claiming The Deadman's title belt for his own. It's been reported that The Undertaker suffered a significant bicep tear at the Backlash pay per view. The timing of this injury couldn't be any worse as The Undertaker recently defeated former Heavy Weight Champion Batista at Wrestelmania 23 just over a month ago. If The Undertaker is to have surgery on his bicep he could possibly be out for the next six to eight months.

It has also been reported that the former ECW Champion, Bobby Lashley suffered an injury at the Backlash pay per view against Shane McMahon, Vincent McMahon and Umaga. According to www.Wrestlinginc.com Bobby Lashley has a damaged rotator cuff but will not need surgery. This injury has said to be lingering since his Wrestlemania 23, Hair versus Hair match featuring Lashley and Umaga. It is uncertain if Bobby Lashley will be out and for how long if any amount of time. He is still scheduled to compete in yet another handicapped match at Judgment Day coming Sunday, May 20^th.

With all the injuries sustained just recently, it's hard to say what the story line will bring. I am sure however, that we will see some unexpected things from the WWE. Super stars or not, the show must go on. I wish all the broken wrestlers a pain-free, speedy recovery.
