Matt Hardy - Torn MLC Joint (knee) - To return around March
Lita - Leg/Knee Injury - To return in around 6-8 months (Novemberish)
Injury concerns... Kurt Angle was seen clinching his hand during the Royal Rumble. Angle has been feeling numbness in his hands as of late due to ongoing neck problems which many believe will cut his career short.
Non-Active Wrestlers... Vince McMahon made it to the back on his own power as he took only a few steps at a time. Once he got to the back, he was placed on a gurney and attended to by the medical personnel. Injured at Rumble.
Works As we've been reporting, both Randy Orton and Paul London were not injured last night at the PPV. Both were worked storyline angles.
This will be updated when ever an injurie occurs.

HERE'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT VINCE'S INJURY
For Vince McMahon, the impact of a stunt on live television last, lastSunday left the World Wrestling Entertainment chairman with torn quad tendons in both his legs.
And the impact on the WWE? Well, not much, other than having a chairman who will have to do his work from outside of the ropes for a while, according to company spokesman Gary Davis.
McMahon, who co-founded the Stamford-based entertainment company, will be able to continue with his day-to-day activities, but won't be able to travel as much as usual, Davis said.
McMahon, a WWE "Superstar" in his own right, underwent surgery on Tuesday in Alabama with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
Andrews has tended to the sports injuries of recently retired Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith, Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood -- even pro wrestler and former Greenwich resident Hulk Hogan.
McMahon will return next week to Connecticut for rehabilitation.
The WWE chairman was injured during a live pay-per-view event called the "Royal Rumble," where 30 WWE "Superstars" battled it out for a slot in "WrestleMania 21."
There was a question about who won. That's when McMahon stepped up and slid into the ring on both his knees in an attempt to settle the controversy.
According to online bloggers, McMahon hit his legs and fell down in the ring a moment later when a knee buckled under him.
It was the "only legitimate injury" in the match, one blogger wisecracked.
The company posted a message on its Web site Tuesday, letting fans know that McMahon had undergone the surgery successfully.
"From a storyline standpoint, it's not significant," said David Meltzer, editor and publisher of Wrestling Observer, a publication for wrestling fans. McMahon stopped announcing in 1997 and hasn't wrestled in a couple of years.
McMahon took himself out of the storyline a few years ago, but shows up every couple of months for a cameo, Meltzer said.
