WWE confirmed that Erick Rowan has a torn right bicep and he will be undergoing surgery this week.
No word on how long he’ll be out, but since the tear is bad enough to require surgery, it could be about 4-6 months.
He suffered the injury at some point during his match at SummerSlam, but was still able to wrestle last night on SmackDown in order to drop the tag titles to the New Day.

Thanks Rowan.
