Finn Balor Discusses His Injury in Detail, Says He Knew He’d Have to Give Up Title

August 28, 2016 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

– Finn Balor took to Twitter today and posted a series of tweets about his Universal Title win at Summerslam, the injury he sustained in the match, having to relinquish the title and his surgery and first day of rehab after. You can check out the full set of posts below.

Balor said one post that “When the bell rang, I had won, I was the Champion, but I was reluctant to celebrate as I already knew in my heart what awaited at Raw.” He said he knew the injury was serious the second he sustained it and that he entered “survival mode.” He says that he was “over come [sp] by a feeling of inadequacy” when he came back through the curtain after giving up the championship and that the surgery, intended only to be an hour long, actually took four because there was a lot more to the injury than the scan showed.

Balor is expected to be out for six months due to the injury.
