Finn Balor is currently on the shelf as he is still recovering from a jaw injury he suffered during his NXT Title match against Kyle O’Reilly. It seems he also suffered an injury that was not made public knowledge.
Triple H spoke to Fox Sports, Finn Balor’s eardrum burst while he was on the way to becoming the NXT Champion. He was still fine, but he was put on the shelf due to the jaw injury.
“Look at where NXT is right now and when you take in the last few months, man, there was a moment there where we were snake bitten by a bunch of things, to Keith Lee transition[ing] and Karrion [Kross] gets the title but he gets injured and at the same time you gotta take the title off him, Finn [Balor] gets the title. I don’t even think anybody knows this but Finn gets the title and in that match, blows his eardrum out and as he comes out of that like, ‘Okay, he’s good on that.’ Right on the flip side of that, breaks his jaw.”
Balor made an appearance on NXT recently, but he is not scheduled to take part in NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
