WWE: Zack Ryder to undergo surgery due to knee injury

Bengaluru, Dec 17: The team of Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley is the most energetic team in the WWE locker room, today.

Their team, The Hype Bros brings up certain enthusiasm whenever they come to Smackdown Live TV. Teaming them together was a boost to Ryder's career.

It also helped the rookie, Mojo's career, as well. They were on the verge of winning the NXT tag team title but soon were called on the main roster.

Their arrival on the blue brand of the WWE was a certain fresh thing in the tag team division. They hyped it up even bigger by becoming the number one contender's spot for the Smackdown tag team title, this week. However, Zack Ryder hurt his knee as we have seen after the match concluded.

Now, on Smackdown fall-out we have learned that Ryder had to undergo an MRI for further evaluation. Now, he declared on Twitter that he will be having a surgery for the battered knee to fix things. He posted the following in which his partner also replied back.

Getting knee surgery 2day & missing #RogueOne...but everything happens for a reason...I'll be back...WrestleMania 32 was just the beginning!

WWE Doctor Chris Robinson gave an update of Ryder's condition by stating the following:

"We think he injured his kneecap or his patella. We think it popped out and then popped back in, so we're just going to do an MRI to make sure that there is not cartilage damage or some tendon tearing, stuff like that.

"Hopefully, there's not and it'll be a shorter rehab period. If there is, there's a different road we might have to go down that may take longer to get him to recover."

This is certainly a bad news for the Smackdown Creative. There is already a lack of depth on the roster. Furthermore, Jey Uso from the Uso brothers is also injured.

So, they have to plan something new for the tag team title, going forward. The Wyatt family is looking stronger than ever as the tag champs and the Hype Bros could have been a great opponent.
