Edge suffered what is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon during his match with Jeff Hardy at last night's SmackDown/ECW live event in San Diego. The injury occurred five minutes into the match and had to be stopped. Edge apologized to the fans by saying "sorry" on the mic before being taken out.
The match started with much posturing as Edge was going around the ring taunting fans so they were only a minute into the actual action when the injury took place. It appeared he planted his foot wrong and went down with his leg at a bad angle when he attempted to leapfrog Hardy's charge. The match was immediately called off and EMTs came assist him before he was taken from the ring.
This is a very serious injury that would likely require surgery and a long period of down time, perhaps up to a year.
The rest of the SmackDown/ECW crew left this morning for a flight to Honolulu, Hawaii.
