SD! Star Out For Several Months

Joey Mercury will be out of action for several months after undergoing surgery over the weekend to repair a torn pectoral muscle. It’s considered a six month recovery process.
Despite the injury, Mercury is expected to remain on television since he had his arm on Monday’s RAW just days after surgery. Many feel that with Serena’s recent release, it wasn’t a good time to remove Mercury from television since the Straight Edge Society wouldn’t be much of a group with two people. However, Punk and Gallows broke up at the following last night’s SmackDown !television taping in Albany, NY, so the injury may have been the catalyst to disband the group. It sure seemed like it last night – the S.E.S is ending.
Big Show confronted The Straight Edge Society
CM Punk got his televangelist on again, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe. The preachy Superstar, along with his disciple Luke Gallows, railed against Monday Night Raw and its 900 episodes, blaming the show for everything short of locusts and floods.
While Punk spat ire and brimstone, Big Show descended to the ring like an avenging angel. The World’s Largest Athlete not only silenced Punk, he slapped him across the chest with his meaty paw. As the S.E.S. high priest high-tailed it out of the ring and looked on, Show punished his brainwashed devotee, Gallows.

Big Show def. Luke Gallows
Accompanied to the ring by Kelly Kelly, Big Show was brimming with confidence. With Serena and Joey Mercury at ringside – and CM Punk watching from a TV monitor – Luke Gallows was expected to represent The Straight Edge Society with a win. However, with a powerful knockout punch, The World’s Largest Athlete dropped Gallows hard and picked up the pinfall.
The Straight Edge Society followers are in the dressing room and Luke says that he cannot forgive Punk for walking out on them at SummerSlam. Joseph asks aloud if any of them would walk away like Punk did. Serena says that Luke and Joseph don’t understand. She says that Punk was trying to teach them a lesson. They need to prove that they are strong. Serena says that tonight is their chance because they will beat Kelly Kelly and Big Show. Joseph says that Serena isn’t ready to be in a match, but Serena says that she has been training for months and that she is ready and that they will show that they deserve Punk’s admiration.
Punk enters and he wonders what they mean by his admiration. Punk says that none of them deserve anything, least of all their admiration.
