Edge shocked the world earlier this year when he returned to the ring at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He went on to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 36, and Backlash, but unfortunately for Edge he suffered an injury during the Backlash match.
The Rated R Superstar has been out of action for months now due to his triceps injury, and during a recent appearance on the Busted Open podcast he noted that recovery is going slower than he would have liked.
“I mean, I don’t know. It’s a learning process because I’m going to be 47 next month, so I didn’t know how I heal from injuries, surgeries [and] things like that,” Edge admitted. “It’s a slow process. I’m not going to lie. The triceps is a different thing. I got back from an Achilles in six months, but I was 35 doing that, so at 10 plus years, I don’t know. It’s a different thing. You don’t realize how much your triceps is involved in almost everything you do in terms of arm movement.”
“So, I don’t know yet. I know it’s a lot slower than I thought it was going to be because I just have this mentality of, ‘Right. No big deal. Surgery, PT and we grind through it, we break down the scar tissue and off we go.’ So, I don’t know if it’s the injury itself [or] if it’s I’m a little older, I don’t know what it is, but it’s not as fast as I would’ve liked.”
When asked if watching Raw from home is difficult for him, the WWE Hall of Famer noted that he watches the show differently than he did before.
“Strangely, a little but only from the aspect of things that I’ve never encountered before. So, I never encountered doubt before. I never looked at something and go, ‘Can I physically do that?’ That never crossed my mind, and now, it does, and now, it’s a different thing. And sure, because I’m older, but it’s also because I have kids now, and I just see things and I realize how this happened and how this happened, wouldn’t have happened before. I watch and go, ‘OK, should I get in there and pull a match with that guy? I think I could. Ah, I know I can.’ It’s just this inner dialogue that I have with myself. When I watch that I go through, that I would not have before.”
