WWE Network Exclusive
While I’m obviously pretty bummed about Bryan needing surgery, a very small tiny little part of me is glad that it’s happening now so rather than his popularity fading due to his lackluster feud with Kane, he can come back in a few months and be as hot as ever. According to the usual sketchy sources I get all my news from, this type of surgery usually takes two to three months to heal from, so I imagine they’ll have to strip him of the title. It’ll be interesting to see who winds up holding the championship in the meantime with Evolution being firmly involved with the Shield and Cena still in his feud with Wyatt. I wouldn’t mind the title being worked into that feud if I thought Bray had an actual chance of holding it, but I don’t think there are enough little kids with deep voices and sheep masks in the world for that to happen.
