Due to Barrett’s shoulder injury.  There will be a battle royal at Battleground for the title.

Barrett injured his shoulder at Smackdown by falling on his shoulder. He appeared to be in severe pain but there’s no word on if he’ll be out of action.

This was expected for awhile.  They don’t have a ton of options, but maybe they swap in Lashley and bring Bobby Roode back in to fill in a spot.  It’s the danger of the taping schedule but there’s not much else they can do.  Unfortunately this probably means more Eric Young as champion.

MVP has injured his knee at an indy show.  There’s no word on his status for the pay per view but he wasn’t able to wrestle his match today.  The show is two weeks from tomorrow.

As you’ve likely heard, Cena’s knee injury was revealed to be a work, but it turns out he has a legitimate groin strain.  This gets me to thinking.It strikes me as interesting that Cena has a REAL injury less than a week after a major worked injury was revealed to be fake.  It’s almost too much of a coincidence.  Everyone’s reaction: “He’s not a good enough actor to pull that off.”  Any chance that’s exactly what WWE was hoping we would say?

Pretty much confirmed at this point.  The refusal to accept further treatment was kind of a giveaway.

May or may not be a story.The Wyatts attacked Cena on Raw and John came up favoring his left leg.  Early word is it’s legit but there’s no word on the severity.  The match at Wrestlemania is pretty much already set so they could let Cena heal for the next month and a half.  Or the knee could be fine tomorrow.

More updates when they’re available of course.

Announced tonight on Raw.  Apparently his elbow is messed up because of a torn tricep.

With Sheamus and Cena both out, the question is who takes their places.  Punk and Bryan would seem to be the top guys on Raw but who moves up on Smackdown?  Ziggler?

Shoulder injury.

I was about to make a Thought of the Day called “What happened to Sheamus?”.  This might be the best thing for him as he DESPERATELY needs to freshen up his character.

Gee I wonder what he’ll do when he gets back.  Perhaps bounce around the midcard title seen with next to no career direction?
