Edge's Injury: Champion's Future?

During a live show in Sacramento, CA, “The Rated-R Superstar” Edge injured his Achilles tendon at the start of his match with Jeff Hardy. After attempting to leapfrog and crumbling to the canvas, the referee called for the bell and Hardy was declared the winner by forfeit.

Edge successfully underwent surgery Tuesday morning under the care of Dr. James Andrews at Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center in Birmingham. Web results, regarding Edge’s injury, have speculated that he will be gone as long as a year to recuperate. If that is the case then the newly formed team of Chris Jericho and Edge will soon disband – possibly leaving Jericho to find a new tag team partner to share the Unified Tag Team Titles.

Suggestions for new partner:

Christian: Even though he is a face on ECW, he’s been feuding with Tommy Dreamer and seems easily able to turn heel. Plus, it’s not like they haven’t teamed up before.

CM Punk: Both Punk and Jericho share similarities, one believes he is the greatest wrestler in the world today, and the other has a sense of pride for the lifestyle he leads. Together they can parade around the WWE claiming to be better than everyone else.

Kane: Both have feuded with Rey Mysterio in attempts to unmask the highflying luchador.

Dolph Ziggler: Despite his gimmick, Ziggler is undoubtedly gifted as a wrestler. However, his mindless feud with The Great Khali is slowing down his career. Dolph has a lot to learn about the business before becoming a top heel, and teaming with Jericho would not only give him the experience needed but boost his career.

Another possibility of what could happen to the titles – Jericho will be forced to defend the titles in a 2 on 1 handicapped match against Legacy at Night of Champions. With Edge absent from the WWE he may take the time to write a sequel to his book – Adam Copeland on Edge. Despite what occurs to the Unified Tag Team Titles, all of the WWE Universe wishes Edge a speedy recovery.
