As we noted, Zack Ryder suffered a knee injury during last week’s episode of SmackDown Live after going for a Rough Ryder during his Battle Royal victory with Mojo Rawley. The win made them next in line to challenge for the SmackDown Tag Titles, however, they were immediately removed from the spot due to Ryder’s injury.
Ryder is staring at a four to nine month layoff after the injury, and has successfully underwent surgery and is in the process of beginning rehab:
