WWE Confirms No Surgery For HBK - Comments Inside

WWE has confirmed that after a comprehensive examination, it has been determined that Shawn Michaels suffered a small tear on his left tricep during the Raw taping on Sunday night in St. Louis and is not expected to need surgery. Michaels is still scheduled to face Chris Jericho at Unforgiven this Sunday.

Michaels had the following to say about the injury: "Before the MRI my doctor was 99.9 percent sure that I had a full tear of my triceps and that I would experience bruising, swelling and a loss of my range of motion. Through the power of prayer, none of those things happened and I am ready for Unforgiven. Regardless of what the MRI revealed, I made it clear that I was going forward with this match."

Note from Ryan Clark: WWE definitely dodged a bullet on this one.
