It was announced on tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw that Bad News Barrett's shoulder injury, one he suffered at the hands of Jack Swagger last week at a SmackDown taping, is bad enough to need surgery. Because he is expected out for "a number of months", according to Michael Cole, he has been stripped of the Intercontinental title.
