Arguably one of the major talking points from WWE Backlash was the reported injury to Edge in the main event.

During "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever", the Rated-R Superstar is said to have suffered a torn tricep. While WWE themselves has yet to officially confirm the injury, it is now being widely reported.

Edge suffers a major injury at WWE Backlash?

If it does transpire that the Canadian has suffered this injury, it's highly likely he'd miss several months worth of active, in-ring action as a result. After only just completing a return to the ring after almost a decade away having previously retired due to serious neck issues, this latest development would be a crushing blow for Edge.

His return at Royal Rumble this year was easily one of the most talked-about moments in WWE history, and his first match back, against Orton at WrestleMania, was also heavily praised.

If at WWE Backlash Edge has indeed been stopped firmly in his tracks, it will be a loss not just for fans, but for WWE, too. With a number of key stars already out of the picture just now, the loss of another big name is likely to be costly.

Fingers crossed, if the injury is confirmed, for a speedy recovery for the former World Champion.
