#1. Hope isn't true: Edge reportedly suffered an injury at Backlash 2020

Whatever you might think of the tagline given to Edge vs Randy Orton at Backlash, there's no denying that the two legends worked hard to give the best match that they could. However, it may have come at a cost.

Sean Ross Sapp, in a Fightful Select exclusive, revealed that Edge suffered an injury while filming the Backlash main event against Randy Orton. Sportskeeda's Lennard Surrao wrote:

Based on what backstage sources in the company told Fightful, Edge reportedly suffered a torn triceps injury. However, the injury can't be confirmed until WWE, Edge, or his doctor released an official statement.

We hope this isn't true because it could push Edge's possibly planned SummerSlam appearance. Given how frequently Edge has been appearing, it's not safe to rule out the possibility of him being planned for a big blockbuster SummerSlam clash.

Given that the scores are tied at 1-1, a trilogy could be in the works. However, it all depends on how serious Edge's reported tricep injury is.
