There's no word yet on a timetable for Woods but it usually takes a very long time to recover from an Achilles injury after surgery. Woods will likely be re-evaluated by WWE doctors after returning to the United States this week, and they usually try to get Achilles tendon operations done as soon as possible. Riddick Moss recently returned from an Achilles tear after being out for 5 months. It was originally believed he would be out for 8 months, and a typical recovery time is around 6 months.

Woods suffered the injury after being Irish-whipped into the ropes. Fans in attendance noted that Woods came back off the ropes and just collapsed, clutching his ankle.
