Kennedy not as bad as originally thought, returning sooner
Posted on WWE.com
Edge may not want to get too comfortable wearing the World Heavyweight Championship around his Rated-R waist. WWE.com has received word that the initial prognosis for Mr. Kennedy’s arm injury was overstated. Based on Kennedy’s extensive MRI at the Birmingham, Ala. offices of Dr. James Andrews, WWE’s Dr. Ferdinand Rios now reports that the SmackDown Superstar’s triceps tendon “was not torn from the bone as originally reported and will not require surgery.” Due to the severity of Kennedy’s hematoma — a collection of blood within a tissue or organ — he is still not cleared to compete from a medical standpoint. “He’s still vulnerable to injury and the arm remains badly swollen,” said Dr. Rios. “I’d expect him to be out of action for about six to eight weeks.” Upon hearing the positive report, WWE.com caught up with the former Money in the Bank holder. Though clearly relieved, he’s already shifting his focus from a likely six months of recovery time to plotting his next move. “This is great news for me; I don’t have a torn muscle,” Kennedy said. “But the good news for me is really, really bad news for Edge. He took something from me…took advantage of my unfortunate situation. Now he and everyone else have just a short amount of time to worry about what I’m going to do when I get back.” ------------ Good news for Smackdown. Kennedy was really catching on before the injury. ![]() ![]() |

But really, would it have killed them to keep the MITB on him and every week/show have him do a count down and maybe give him a talk show or something? I mean, even if they didn't plan to go all the way to Mania they could have done it after the injury healed.
There was really no reason to take it off him ASIDE from Taker's injury. |

I wish they hadn't passed the MitB on now!
As much as Edge as champ is cool by me, I was looking forward to the build up around Kennedy. I suggested in one of the other threads thay could have him do commentary or some other non-wrestling role for 6 months, it's not that long. Now the prognosis has come back at barely 2 months it's an even bigger shame they didn't just stick with him. |

Edge being on Smackdown as a heel World Champion will bring a breath of fresh air we haven't seen since the days of the Wrestling...GOD.
If they can build Kennedy as Smackdown's top face, then things could work. |

Even though it turns out they did jump the gun with MitB, I'd rather have Edge as champ than Batista. So I think there's a lot of potential for this situation, provided they don't botch it. *crosses fingers*

The way I see is that I doubt Kennedy was going to actually keep the contract until Wrestlemania.
With the risk of Kennedy's injury ontop of Taker's injury, they needed to shake things up majorly. Having Edge take out both Kennedy and Taker gives Edge even more of a rub, even though he is already over without it, but now this gives Smackdown a new number one heel and potentially a new number one face if done right. Let Kennedy chase Edge all year, Kennedy wins the Rumble, and Kennedy beats Edge at Mania for the title. Of course WWE can't plan that far ahead and Edge will drop it to Kennedy at Summerslam and it'll be Randy Orton all over again. |

Kennedy chasing the title until WrestleMania could work. Feuds tend to sizzle out, though. I think they should strike while the iron is hot for this one. I'd wait no later than Summerslam before pulling the trigger on Mr. Kennedy. WrestleMania hasn't been a special PPV for so many years, and it's because what seems like a good idea now, doesn't end up being one several months later.
Edge vs. Kennedy should be a program that the WWE plans for in the short term. That's not to say it should be rushed, just don't take your sweet time with it. |

So maybe Kennedy beats Edge @ summerslam or survivor series or something, then Taker comes back in to try and get the title back off Kennedy? |

As much as I didn't like the idea of Kennedy losing his MITB, I did think it was pretty unpredictable that he lost it. WWE has been ridiculously predictable in the past few years. Now we can get a good story/angle with Kennedy chasing Edge for the title. I hope it goes that way. |

The Undertaker should not go over Kennedy, though. He got his one last title run. He fucked himself up. Too bad. |

How would you bring him back as a face after only an 8 week leave? Just wondering, after 6 months, yeah I could see it, but after 8 weeks, he's still in people's minds as a heel
