According to PWMania.com:
Last night at the Monday Night RAW/Friday Night Smackdown supershow double taping in St. Louis, it is believed that Shawn Michaels suffered a triceps tear during an in ring confrontation with Chris Jericho.
PWMania posted this quote from Kyle Hartnett, who attended the tapings, just a few minutes ago:
"As it was coming to a close, Lance Cade came through the crowd and attacked Michaels. HBK quickly gained the upper hand as he was laying punches down on Cade. Jericho tried grabbing him from the outside, and that's where HBK took an awkward fall going through the ropes down to the mat, nearly landing on his face, but was able to brace his fall at the last second.
"Jericho then left after a brief staredown. Then HBK delivered a few more kicks to Cade's face as the show ended."
It is being reported by Steve Gerweck that Shawn does intend to work at this sunday's Unforgiven pay per view.
If the injury really is a triceps tear, than it will almost certainly require surgery which will put HBK out of action around six months.
I will post more updates throughout the day as they become available

ya I wrote bout this earlier today, somehow he got injured and knowbody knows if he will come back next monday or not, I guess we will see right. He should be fine, but if not the storyline between him and Jericho is shot.

Meltzer is reporting a triceps tear and that he is still planning on attending Unforgiven this Sunday. He will be out a minimum of 6 months. I appreciate how quick you put this up, but for something like this, more info needs to come out before you write about it. This is all stuff people can get from other websites much faster and more accurately.

I think HBK should call it quiets (For real). The guy has nothing left to offer exept a monthly PPV match here and there. I'm a big HBK fan don't get me wrong, but it is time for Shawn to hang it up . Befofre he hurts himself even worse.

In respose to one comment about accuracy.
I thought this article was very accurate.
The writer went as far as describing how it happened.
Yes several sites have reported this story, but there isnt any more info other then the aforementioned, and some sites didnt even bother to explain how it happened.
I feel the writer has just as much a right to post this story then any site out there.
Until there is an official wrestling news channel, it's all fair game, and nothing unusual that this story or any story is going to be multi posted.
As far as HBK, I'll assume that he's going to work the pay per view, unless docters say it is a major risk and could be career ending for Shawn to work the matcha against Jericho.
I know HBk will wrestle sunday because that's the type of person he is.
I wonder though how well the match will be if they are even able to do it.
I get the feeling, it's going to be even more of a brawl then it was probably originally planned to be.
Probably Shawn wins and Jericho gets the beating, but they'll play it as a result of the brutality of the match Shawn is out 4-6 months.
Shawn avenges his wife and teaches Jericho a lesson but at the price is he's out for months, type of angle.

What I was referring to was at the time that this was posted, all the information that I stated was already a fact. Or at least as far as every website had announced. It also came up a day late and the tag line claims that the writer knows how serious the injury was, when no new information was revealed. Also, The Wrestling Observer is the official source for all wrestling news. Every other website has to go to them first before anything gets written because they have been doing it for so long and they have the inside sources. So yes, this should not have been written, especially if almost the entire thing is a quote from another website. What did this writer add to the story that wasn't already known by reading the other websites? This isn't an attack on what he's doing, it's a criticism to make him better.

As soon as we saw him face plant on the floor we knew it looked ugly. Its amazing he didnt break his jaw.
Its a shame this happened I was expecting this match to really be a great one. The two of them together always just equal great matches.
