Bad News Barrett undergoes surgery on injured shoulder

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Bad News Barrett went
under the knife on Tuesday to repair his
injured shoulder, suffered when he was
thrown into a barricade by Jack Swagger on
the June 27 edition of SmackDown. The
surgery was performed by Dr. Jeff Dugas in
Birmingham.
"Bad News Barrett underwent a ligament
reconstruction in his shoulder, as well as a
distal clavicle resection, where the end of
the collar bone is shaved off," WWE
physician Dr. Chris Amann said. "The
operation went very well, he's resting
comfortably."
The untimely injury cost Barrett the
Intercontinental Championship and an
opportunity at the Money in the Bank
contract this past Sunday. Now, the surly Brit
will be out of action as he waits for his
surgically repaired shoulder to fully heal, so
he can pummel his foes with the Bad News
Bull Hammer Elbow once again. Once he is
cleared to return to the squared circle, it will
only be bad news for the rest of the WWE
roster.
