We’ve got “bad news” for Bad News Barrett fans.

The former WWE Intercontinental champion underwent surgery on Tuesday morning to repair his shoulder, which was injured last week on SmackDown when he was thrown into a ringside barricade by Jack Swagger.

The surgery was performed in Birmingham, Alabama by Dr. Jeff Dugas.

WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com:

“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. The operation went very well, he’s resting comfortably.”
