[The Stig]

Sooo according to PWInsider...Finn may be hurt. Like surgery hurt.

WWE MAY HAVE SUFFERED ANOTHER MAJOR INJURY BLOW AT SUMMERSLAM
By Mike Johnson on 2016-08-22 02:28:00
New WWE Universal champion Finn Balor was injured during his Summerslam match against Seth Rollins, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Sources indicate that Balor was sporting his right arm in a sling following the PPV. There is concern the injury is serious and could require surgery.

In watching back the bout, Balor was grabbing briefly at his right shoulder after being nailed with a small package driver and did not raise the arm (which was holding the Universal championship) after the match.

We are told Balor will be getting examined tomorrow and once WWE has a determination on exactly how serious the injury is, they will go from there. More as we get it.

Balor is slated to appear on Good Morning America tomorrow at 8 AM Eastern.

FML if it is serious.

 

[David71]

relenquishes the title? time to set up a contenders match.

 

[Acallabeth]

FFS
Make it another mystery attacker, you gonna need Samoa Joe soon anyway...

 

[Fa Ci La]

use this opportunity to turn it into a Universal 24/7 belt

Speaking of Joe and injuries...did he break his jaw Saturday or not?

 

[Cor]

It happened when Seth did the powerbomb into the corner barricade.

Finn reached back with his arm for some reason, and it went in really weird. I had thought he separated his shoulder when it happened, but he seemed fine.

Speaking of Joe and injuries...did he break his jaw Saturday or not?

No, it was a work.

 

[GKJ]

Oh come on

I guess that's why he didn't raise the title up in the ring

Quick somebody interview Bret Hart

 

[Loosie]

GLJ beat me too it, but this is now three guys that have been injured working with Seth.

Bret may have a point here.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Oh come on

I guess that's why he didn't raise the title up in the ring

Quick somebody interview Bret Hart

Well, Finn is another HHH guy, Bret will blast him.

 

[These Are The Days]

Wow... WWE needs someone safer than Rollins right now. I've never heard of someone screw up that many times in hurting people and still keep his push like that. I mean Jesus Christ Kennedy pretty much lost his job on a bad suplex to Orton.

Bret Hart is going to be like "Told you so." He's a bit of a diva but he's right

 

[GKJ]

Balor's coming up soon on GMA, so he's there at least

 

[BonMorrison]

He looks fine on the GMA tweet but that doesn't mean much.

 

[Cor]

Seth Rollins should be fired

 

[I Am The Stig]

Balor wasn't wearing a sling on GMA. Doesn't mean anything though.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Wouldn't be surprised if he was faking this injury so he doesn't have to be seen with that belt.

 

[Deen]

WHY did it have to be the small package driver that hurt him! That move is dope as F

 

[Paris in Flames]

I have yet to see the match or spot....or even sure confirmation of what spot it was (there's two listed in this thread alone).

But! Why do people instantly blame the guy giving the move? It's always been this way in wrestling seemingly. Giver gets blamed and that's it. Wrestling is a two way street and the receiver has to take it correctly too.

Not saying Seth is to blame...or Finn is to blame. It just seems to be a general thing.

 

[PBandJ]

Seth isn't to blame. Sometimes guys just land awkwardly.

 

[The Gongshow]

Hoping Finn's alright. Would be a shame if they relinquish the new belt off of its first champ after one night

No, it was a work.

Wow. Amazing selling then, I thought he seriously had his jaw broken, that makes the match even better knowing he's alright and sold it like that. Gonna rematch that match now. Hoping for a Joe call up and he gets a monster run.

 

[Deen]

It might be a labrum tear and he could miss several months.

[GKJ]

"Hey, we can go to Brooklyn for Summerslam weekend and watch all your favorite wrestlers get injured."

 

[Stad]

Probably gonna put the title on Seth tonight if so, he should've won last night anyway.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Should probably ban the bucklebomb at this point.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Last night was the correct result. They better hope Finn is ok to keep the belt or the crowd will lose it.
