Finn Balor injured at Summerslam (WWE confirms injury)

[Deleted]

Geez.

UPDATE: WWE just confirmed it.

Inaugural WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor suffered a shoulder injury against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, WWE.com can confirm. The injury came in the course of Bálor and Rollins’ match to determine which Superstar would become the first WWE Universal Champion, specifically when Bálor absorbed a running powerbomb to the barricade at the hands of The Architect.

“He hit the wall during the match, dislocated his shoulder and was able to put it back in himself in a split second,” said ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson. Bálor was able to finish the match, but Dr. Robinson noted that an MRI yielded results earlier today showing “a possible labrum tear.”

The champion is currently scheduled to receive a surgical consult that will determine the extent of Bálor’s injury, as well as if and how his reign as WWE Universal Champion will be affected. Check back with WWE.com for updates on Bálor’s condition.

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.

WWE cannot catch a break in 2016. Well, their wrestlers can but...

Plot twist: Magic knows Black Lives Matter attacked Finn backstage.

[sfvega]

Seth's small package strikes again....

[FAR5222]

Well back to the Rollins and Roman shit show featuring Brock Lesnar and Mrs.Emasculate Stephanie McMahon

[wisdomwizard]

Wow, right when they actually were giving him a chance too.

Honestly, if it's serious you probably could get a decent story out of this. Super inconveniently timed for how thin Raw's main event scene is, and certainly sucks that Finn's hurt, but there's a good, fairly new story in the idea of a new guy coming in red hot, beating everyone in short order and becoming champion, but breaking himself in the process, then having to deal with coming back and doubts over if he pushed himself too hard trying to do too much to fast and if he can get it done again.

Time to strap Brock up i mean he goes away and so does that ugly title

[Captain Patren Fenderbaum-X]

WWE: Hey Brock what you doing from now till Mania next year?

Brock: Nothing

WWE: Good anwser here is the title we will see you next year bye

[AwamoriRock]

I hope Bret gives one of his trying-not-to-insult-but-really-trying-to-insult comments like, "I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Rollins but he is a f***ing dangerous mess and a loser."

BRAND SPLIT OVER, ROSTERS MERGE TOMORROW NIGHT

Between wellness violations and a slew of injuries, Vince McMahon has announced that the WWE is bringing back the RAW and SD rosters indefinitely.

"The WWE Universe wanted it!", said an obviously lying Vince McMahon. "We've listened to our audience and based on their reaction, we will be bringing the rosters together. It's gonna be better than ever before."

As for the fate of the widely-panned WWE Universal Championship, Vince McMahon said "What Universal Championship? We never had such a title." It appears they will pretend that the Seth Rollins-Finn Balor match never happened.

"Look. We are a publicly traded company and we always say that it's important that every ticket holder leaves a smile on their face when they attend a WWE show. You saw how happy they were at the end of the last two matches", continued on a man who clearly has passed a lie detector test while lying. "I think it's obvious that after tonight, the two MVPs of the show, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, are the two men who will remain an integral part of the next several months and maybe even years. Stand back! This Wrestlemania will be the best Wrestlemania of all-time!"

Dudes thought Finn was just disgusted at that title when really he was injured in the match, damn.

Bret is going to chew the f*** out of Rollins. Sting, Cena and now Balor? Lord. He's the REAL hitman.

He's a man of class.

[Captain & Diet]

You could see exactly when Balor hurt his arm. Outside the ring, Seth bombed Balor into the barricade. Balor caught it with his right arm and immediately you can tell he hurt it. This sucks. They decide to build up a fresh face and strap the rocket to him and he gets hurt.

Wasn't Seth's fault. Totally freak deal.
