WWE.com has learned from WWE medical personnel that Christian suffered a severe high ankle sprain while competing on WWE's recent overseas tour throughout Europe. The severity of the sprain has made it impossible for him to compete as a member of Team Barrett against Team Orton at Survivor Series this Sunday. (MATCH PREVIEW)

Christian's ankle injury is further compounded by what transpired a week prior on SmackDown, during which Christian claimed to have suffered a neck injury as the result of a chokeslam at the massive hands of Big Show.

Live on RAW GETS ROCKED, Vickie Guerrero further explained that the ailing former World Heavyweight Champion will be replaced by United States Champion Dolph Ziggler, who now rounds out the Team Barrett quintet.
