WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor injured at SummerSlam

007_SS_08212016rf_0048--6d2805ea7f1ba1b94f4d60f7dbc978d3.jpg

Inaugural WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor suffered an injury to his right shoulder 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.
It's official. We'll have to stay tuned to Raw to see what's happening with him and the title.

Strip him and have a Fatal Four-way at the next show, Rollins, Reigns Sheamus and Cesaro.

Rollins legit hurting more guys than Bork.

People need to know how to protect themselves when taking a powerbomb. Balor tried to sell it too hard.

With the next Raw event being Clash of Champions it would be the perfect night for it.

How do you protect yourself being thrown backwards into a flat surface? It's just a dumb spot, it's right up there with letting a guy hit you with an elbow to cause blood.

You can flat back a wall, it's too awkward.

They must have been taught something on how to take it because plenty of people do without getting hurt.

You mean Ambrose who is the only one to take a powerbomb into a barricade.

That guy?

You think Foley knew the proper way of banging the back of his into barricades?

I thought you meant the running powerbomb in general (to turnbuckle, apron or barricade).

Than, yeah, it is a bit awkward hitting the barricade specifically, but it did look like Balor tried to sell it more than he needed to. Either way, shit happens wrestling.

Maybe he should retire that stupid spot.
