#4. Edge to be 'out of action' for months in WWE

Former WWE Champion Edge got carried off on a stretcher on SmackDown last week following his match against Seth Rollins. The Architect put Edge through a devastating stomp at the end of the match resulting in Edge getting 'injured'.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed that Edge's injury was a way to write him off television for the next few months. Edge is a part-time superstar in WWE and will not be featured prominently going forward.

"Edge went out on a stretcher and was taken away in an ambulance. This will explain Edge not being around for a few months,'' stated Meltzer

He further stated that injury angles are a way of explaining the absence of part-time superstars like Edge.
