Good News on Kennedy - No Surgery Needed
Things are suddenly looking up for superstar Mr.Kennedy, who as of 24 hours ago was set for a surgery on his arm that may have put him out of action for a few months. The injury was first reported as a torn tricep, but WWE.Com is reporting now that Kennedy's tricep "was not torn from the bone and will not require surgery."
This is great news for the company, as they have been in panic mode for the last week with the news first that Undertaker was going to be on the shelf for about six months with a torn bicep, then news came down that Kennedy was going to miss a large amount of time as well with a torn tricep.
A quote from a doctor on WWE.Com this evening states the following about the injury: “He’s still vulnerable to injury and the arm remains badly swollen,” said Dr. Rios. “I’d expect him to be out of action for about six to eight weeks.” Kennedy is now on the verge of becoming one of the top faces in the company, and a major feud for the World Heavyweight Title looms with new champ Edge.
Kennedy was quoted on the company site as stating: “This is great news for me; I don’t have a torn muscle,” Kennedy said. “But the good news for me is really, really bad news for Edge. He took something from me…took advantage of my unfortunate situation. Now he and everyone else have just a short amount of time to worry about what I’m going to do when I get back.”
