The USA Guy, Derrick Bateman, undergoes knee surgery

Looks like The USA Guy will be holding on to his own flagpole for the next couple months.

That's because Derrick Bateman, who recently underwent a gimmick change from "Guy from NXT with bushy hair" to "The USA Guy," went under the knife today to repair a faulty knee.

He tweeted the above picture while saying, "Welp. See ya later. ... I've 'officially' had more knee surgeries than "official" girlfriends. 'Official(ly).'"

He would later tell a curious follower "some Swissman dislocated my kneecap."

So the United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro, is to blame for taking out The USA Guy? Oh, the humanity.
