Confirmed: Edge Needs Surgery, Rhyno To Replace Him?
Submitted by Matt Boone on Thursday, February 20, 2003 at 1:50 PM EST


• As a bit of an update on an earlier report, the results for tests Edge took to determine what injury his neck has been suffering from came in and the results aren't positive. The tests revealed that Edge will have to undergo neck surgery under the knife of Dr. Lloyd Youngblood to heal his neck injury. It appears to be the less serious of the two procedures that could have been done, with Edge needing the lesser of the two which is the operation where Youngblood will be operating on the front of the neck.
  
  No word is out on how long Edge will be missing in action, or if he'll be able to work his scheduled six-man tag team match this coming Sunday on No Way Out. If he isn't able to, Rhyno is likely to replace him.
  
  Originally, Rhyno was scheduled to join the RAW roster as part of the Evolution group, but the writing team decided against that idea. Paul Heyman has been pushing aggressively for Rhyno to be a part of his SmackDown! roster, and with the sudden change of plans in Edge's future, Rhyno could be a big name superstar to fill-in for him. Apparently, Edge was even for the idea of Rhyno taking his place and hoped Heyman could get everything arranged if the situation called for it, which it now does.
