WWE Superstar Erick Rowan went under the knife today to repair a shoulder injury he recently sustained ... and he'll likely be out of action for months.

ProWrestling.net reports that Rowan had surgery on a torn rotator cuff today in Birmingham, Alabama. According to TopRopePress.com, he sustained the injury at a recent live event and may be out of action until March.

The timing of the injury couldn't be worse. As we previously reported, Luke Harper was recently cleared to return the ring and The Wyatt Family was close to being whole again.

No word from Rowan or WWE yet, but we'll provide an update if more information becomes available.
