Bad News Barrett May Have Been Injured During June 24 “Smackdown” Tapings (Contains Spoilers)

Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett may have been injured during the June 24 “Smackdown” tapings. During a post-match segment with Dean Ambrose and Jack Swagger, Barrett apparently suffered a shoulder injury.

Ambrose defeated Barrett in their match, then attacked Swagger and Barrett with a ladder in defense. Barrett apparently went down grabbing his shoulder, when WWE officials then attended to the superstar. The official through up the “X” symbol, which indicates injury, and Barrett was said to be screaming obscenities in pain.

WrestlingRumors.net will keep you up-to-date on Barrett’s condition as more information is made available.

Editor’s Note:
This is NOT good. Your IC champ hurt before the PPV. Not. Good. Barrett was a favorite to win the briefcase in many’s eyes.
