The Latest on Taker's Injury and Title Update
The bad luck injury that looks like it will end the title regin of the Undertaker may have him losing the belt within the next one to two weeks. Taker is suffering from a bicep tear, and the last report saw him visit Dr. James Andrews, and word is he will have to have some sort of surgery and long rehab down the road. Besides losing the belt in this whole deal, one has to wonder how much gas Taker has left in the tank and how much he really wants to comeback after a surgery and rehab. Of course he will not want to go out and have his career end with an injury, but you've got to take his age and wear and tear into consideration.
So the plan according to various reports is for Taker to take on Batista in a cage on SmackDown next week. One would assume that it would be that match that would take the belt off Taker and back on Batista. While that is not official, that is the plan. I would expect them to do a heavy injury angle during that match, and for them to push that injury as being the reason we don't see Taker for a few months. A four to six month rehab could put Taker on the shelf all the way to about the Survivor Series in November in Miami.
