– As we reported earlier, there is a great deal of concern in WWE over the current talent situation, with so many superstars injured (Read More). Two of the top stars in WWE who are injured and will likely require surgery in the coming weeks are CM Punk and The Undertaker.
Punk will be having surgery this week to repair a torn tendon in either his hop or lower back. There is still a good chance that Punk will be healthy in time for WrestleMania, but we’ll have a better idea of his recovery time following surgery. There had been plans for a feud between CM Punk and WWE United States champion Daniel Bryan – which has the potential to be a great program.
As for the Undertaker, he likely needs shoulder surgery .. Of course, the big concern is that he’s healthy in time for WrestleMania.
– WWE will tape this week’s episodes of NXT and Friday Night SmackDown tonight from The Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Confirmed for tonight’s NXT is the wedding of Aksana and Goldust … Will Ted DiBiase and Maryse get involved? Also, a Rookie Diva will also be eliminated on tonight’s show. Naomi Knight has immunity from elimination.
On SmackDown, Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio has been announced as the main event. Advertised locally are Kane, Jack Swagger, Big Show and Rey Mysterio although Rey Mysterio wrestling is highly unlikely due to his ear injuiry.
