This may actually be good for him long-term. He has now had four world title runs; one ended in a quickie fluke loss which galvanized the crowd support he had begun to enjoy. One ended in a MitB cash-in screwjob. One ended in an evil-authority procedural screwjob. Now he's being stripped of the title for legitimate injury reasons. He can very rightly make the claim that he has never truly been beaten for a world title.
I also wish him a speedy recovery... but not so much a speedy return. I think the best thing for him to do now would be to return at Survivor Series and cost someone the title (maybe whoever wins MitB this year,) and then be forced to beat Kane at whatever the December PPV is these days in order to get into the Rumble.
