<p>Edge lost the &#8216;Greatest Wrestling Match&#8217; ever against Randy Orton at <a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/ppv/wwe-backlash-2020-results-grades-highlights-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WWE Backlash</a> last night, after taking the highly dangerous punt kick from Orton.</p>



<p>It was reported over the weekend that the Rated R Superstar suffered torn triceps during the taping, and will be out of action for a really long time. Edge returned to WWE at Royal Rumble earlier this year, and it was only his third appearance inside the ring since his retirement in 2011.</p>



<p>According to <em>Wrestling Observer Radio</em>, the injury occurred during the second half of the taping. The main-event was taped earlier to ensure a perfect match between the two competitors, and if the online consensus is anything to go by, these two delivered the goods at the PPV.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“There was multiple stuff that they filmed multiple times. He got hurt during the second tapings. I was told the injury happened during the second taping when they were going through other stuff.”</p></blockquote>



<p>With Edge out of action for possibly the remainder of 2020, there could be a change in plans. Edge was rumored to have a five-match per year contract, and with two of those remaining, it will have an impact on things going forward.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“Obviously he’s coming back for whatever it was — it’s said that it’s 5 matches a year, but I was told it’s more than 5. This year it will probably be less than 5 given that he’s probably going to be out for months.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Edge was also at the receiving end of the Punt Kick, which in kayfabe is known to put stars out of action for a really long time. WWE will surely use it to explain the 11-time Champion&#8217;s absence from WWE programming.</p>
