Ryder suffered the knee injury in Tuesday's SmackDown battle royal as The Hype Bros became the new #1 contenders to SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Family. No word yet on who the new #1 contenders will be or how long Ryder will be out but we will keep you updated.
Ryder wrote the following on today's surgery:
Getting knee surgery 2day & missing #RogueOne...but everything happens for a reason...I'll be back...WrestleMania 32 was just the beginning!
