The WWE website spoiled this Friday's Smackdown, announcing that Edge relinquished the WWE World champion due to a pectoral tear, as reported this afternoon by PWInsider.com.
Once the championship vacancy is filled tonight during a Battle Royal, the website will likely update again and an official announcement will be made on ECW on Sci Fi.
