The title of the thread, while simple, pretty much says it all. Wade Barrett simply cannot catch a break. Last night, it was revealed by Michael Cole that Barrett will be out for several months and will have to undergo surgery to repair the damage done via having his shoulder separated a week ago at the SmackDown! tapings. As a result, the Intercontinental Championship has been vacated and a new champ will be crowned via a battle royal to take place at Battleground.
Barrett's last significant injury set his career back in a major way as he was, allegedly, set to win Money in the Bank a few years back. The match was, again allegedly, set to take place at WrestleMania and that the MITB ppv itself would be scrapped, but Barrett was out for a good 6 months before returning. He started off well, gaining his momentum back and winning his 2nd IC title in late 2012. After last year's Royal Rumble, everything started going to hell as Vince was jobbing him out to every bigger star on the roster to such a degree that Barrett was effectively buried as IC champ. Barrett spends the rest of 2013 and most of the first half of 2014 in irrelevancy before embarking on his fourth IC title run, with much more promising results, only for this to happen. It's almost as if the guy's cursed or something.
