Tuesday night’s Super SmackDown special featured a few notable news items:
* Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara have been written off television after both men were attacked by The Shield. Rey Mysterio was attacked before the show went on the air and suffered a “serious neck injury,” while Sin Cara was attacked after his match by Cody Rhodes. Sin Cara has been working through an injury to his left knee and The Shield focused on Sin Cara’s knee during their attack on SmackDown.
* Ryback interrupted CM Punk’s promo on the show and said he wants his guaranteed WWE title match against Punk on the first RAW of 2013, which takes place on Monday, January 7th. There had been talk of the match taking place the following week, but WWE will wrap up the Punk vs. Ryback feud that night so Punk can transition to his feud with The Rock.
