Bad news for the Deadman. After winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Batista at WrestleMania, it was widely reported that the Undertaker was in line for his first long WWE title run. Now those plans will have to change due to a bad injury he suffered this past weekend before Backlash.

The Undertaker has suffered a torn biceps that will require surgery. He suffered a complete muscle tear, with his bicep muscle being torn off the bone and rolling up to his shoulder. He was in tremendous pain Monday morning after his match with Batista the night before at Backlash.

Undertaker saw "surgeon-to-the-superstars" Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama this week and surgery will be required. Recovery time for this procedure will keep him out of action for 6 to 8 months.

This injury will require him to drop the World Heavyweight title.
