Edge has undergone surgery for the torn triceps that he suffered while taping his Backlash match against Randy Orton.

Prior to tonight's Raw, WWE officially announced that Edge suffered a torn triceps and is rehabbing at home after undergoing surgery:

WWE Digital has confirmed that Edge suffered a torn triceps as a result of injuries sustained during The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. Edge has undergone successful surgery and is currently rehabbing at home.

The Rated-R Superstar faced Randy Orton in a grueling test of in-ring skills at WWE Backlash. Both competitors were pushed to the brink, but The Viper prevailed over his former friend in the highly intense match.

Stay tuned to WWE digital and social platforms for more information as the story develops

Dave Meltzer confirmed yesterday that Edge had suffered a torn triceps while filming the Backlash match earlier this month. "A torn triceps is usually an injury that requires about eight months or so of recovery time and surgery," Meltzer wrote. "Obviously because WWE did not want out that the match was taped, that when Edge and Orton were doing media, they couldn't talk about the injury. The injury, whether he will undergo surgery and the time frame of his return are likely to be talked about over the next few days after the match airs."

Backlash was Edge's third match since returning to the ring after being forced to retire in 2011. He appeared as an entrant in this year's men's Royal Rumble match in January and then defeated Orton in their last man standing match at WrestleMania 36.

An appearance by Orton will kick off Raw tonight.

In a pre-taped match we still get an injury.

It's a torn muscle. Why should the match being pre-taped matter?

Because they went so far out of the way to make it perfect with edits and something still goes wrong.

Sh*t happens. No matter how many takes you have to do something, you've still got to do the spot in all of the takes. You've still got to run and lift people up and so forth.

[KILLdozer]

Got dang ol' ridiculous irony.

I think the joke here is that he injured himself in the retakes for the sake of editing a match while having a normal match would had been perfectly acceptable and Edge would be healthy.

[KILLdozer]

Yeah it just had to be perfect and look what happens.
