Spoiler: SmackDown Star Out of Action for a While

Posted by Marc Middleton on Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

- Joey Mercury will be out of action for several months after undergoing surgery over the weekend to repair a torn pectoral muscle. It’s considered a six month recovery process.

Despite the injury, Mercury is expected to remain on television since he had his arm on Monday’s Raw just days after surgery. Many feel that with Serena’s recent release, it wasn’t a good time to remove Mercury from television since the Straight Edge Society wouldn’t be much of a group with two people. However, Punk and Gallows broke up at the following night’s SmackDown television taping, so the injury may have been the catalyst to disband the group.

    Well, I hope he had is arm. I think some proof-reading is in order.

    Punk is without a doubt the best heel in WWE right now. That said SES does not get over because Gallows and Mercury bring nothing into it. Leave them behind and let Punk be the heel he is without them

    Wow, Mercury has only had 3 or 4 matches at most since his return, so thats gotta suck for him.
    Luckily he kept his arm though, as we would have hated him to show up without it.

    Maybe Shad, Curt Hawkins and/or Vance Archer could join SES.

    Shad would be awesome as part of the SES. For that matter, bring in both Shad and JTG. They’ve pretty much vanished as singles competitors, and the SES could run a seriously good feud with multiple tag matches with an established team. Mercury could get sidelined to recover, and Gallows would have another big man to work with. It’s an interesting idea.

    Well, there goes his career again. WWE isn’t good for keeping low level employees around when they are injured.

    @ Cm Mark….i agree Punk was great as the champ and the SES faction has brought him down a notch. Put the belt on him and let him go back to the straight edge champion.

    But..but Vance Archer and Curt Hawkins are boring… :(

    BTW, if there’s someone who can keep a stable “by himself”, it’s Punk.
