Barrett was injured when he was wrestling with Jack Swagger, another opponent in the Money in the Bank Ladder match.

“[Barrett] sustained an injury to his right shoulder when he was thrown into the barricade by Jack Swagger,” WWE physician Dr. Chris Amman said.

“After Barrett felt an immediate pain and a pop,” continued Amann, “we brought him back to the training room and the exam showed a separated shoulder. We’re going to do some additional testing this week and then sit down with him and talk about options for treatment for this injury.”
