Shane McMahon Hospitalized.

Shane McMahon is currently recovering from acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia in a New York-area medical facility, WWE.com has learned.

Two weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE, McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as the blue brand’s Commissioner. Following that announcement, McMahon was brutally attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. WWE medical staff initially diagnosed him with a laryngeal contusion and trapezius and rhomboid strains as a result of the beating.

Following the vicious assault, McMahon went to the Caribbean with his family to rest and recuperate. While there, Shane developed a massive infection due to acute diverticulitis and was hospitalized for several days in Antigua before being flown back to a New York-area hospital, where he is currently being treated with heavy doses of antibiotics. The doctors in New York have also discovered that Shane suffered an umbilical hernia during the attack, which will require surgery once the infection has been eradicated.

These seem a weird set of injuries for a storyline Im so confused

“Massive infection” is probably not a medical term, even in the Caribbean

So no Mania tag match with Bryan then? Even if its a work hernia surgery is minimum 2 weeks recovery time and a further 4-6 of avoiding strenuous activity.

I mean theres an obvious replacement but he's doing a gig in Long Beach that day apparently

It's a legit injury is the update

KO/Sami v Bryan/???

Jericho unavailable, I'd love them to bring up Adam Cole for the night, history with Owens, does his stuff at Takeover the night before and then big enough to smash Mania with those around him. Also his name is big enough for the smarky Mania fans in attendance.

If they're bringing anyone up from NXT to be in the match it'll likely be McIntyre if he's fit.

I'll lose my mind if its CM Punk.

Not sure they have Punk in their back pocket and do this?

Ironic that they've built a lopsided and dull story with this due to Bryan's wellbeing, and Shane would be the one to miss it. Probably a work though. If they hadn't just made Kane look such a chump (although his gut does a bit of that) then he'd have been a fun throwback to use.

Anyone but Dolph please because i could see that happening

They need a mechanic to take most of KO and Sami's offence

Kane? Team Hell No reunion?

How about Heath for a Nexus reunion

Rusev would be a good stand in using the active roster

Could HBK be talked into one more match?
