WWE broke with conventional booking wisdom by having Undertaker lose to Kane, yet again, at the WWE Bragging Rights pay-per-view.
As was noted in a Headline Planet story prior to the pay-per-view, the booking choice was necessary given Undertaker’s need to take some time off. According to F4WOnline.com, ‘Taker is dealing with a shoulder issue, and the expectation is that he will need a month or two off.
Word was not available on whether he will be pursuing surgey.
Other notes:
— PWInsider.com reports that there was concern over the fact that CM Punk might have hurt his hip or back. The latest word, however, is that he is fine.
— Beth Phoenix is due back to television shortly.
