Finn Balor’s injury status following the WWE Elimination Chamber event has been clarified, providing relief to fans of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion. During a heated tag team match on Saturday, where Balor, alongside Damian Priest, defended their titles against the British duo of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, Balor appeared to sustain an injury.
The match, marked by its intensity and pre-match assault on Dominik Mysterio by Dunne and Bate, saw multiple interruptions but ultimately ended with Balor and Priest retaining their championship. Post-match saw Balor holding his thumb, sparking concerns about a serious injury sustained during the bout.
In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer dissected the events of Elimination Chamber. Alvarez highlighted Balor’s thumb injury during the match but reassured fans that the situation appeared to be under control. Alvarez said, “We had Finn Balor who, at the end of the match, holds up his hand and his thumb is bleeding like crazy. And man, he sold that thing big. And we weren’t sure if he had broken his thumb or cut it open or whatever. But apparently, whatever it was, he’s alright.” It looks like Balor is doing well, according to reports, and the injury didn’t seem to be as serious as initially feared.
WWE’s Finn Balor updates fans on injury
Throughout the match, Pete Dunn targeted Finn Balor’s hand. Following the grueling battle at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, Balor took to X (formerly Twitter) to provide an update. The Judgment Day member revealed that he composed the tweet using only one thumb.
Check out his tweet below:
WWE Elimination Chamber was a phenomenal night for Judgement Day as they retained tag team titles. Rhea Ripley, also a member of the faction, successfully defended her title in the main event against Nia Jax. Ripley will now defend her title next at WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch, the winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber match. It will be intriguing to see who steps up next to challenge Judgment Day for their tag team titles as the road to WrestleMania 40 intensifies.
As the New Day and Imperium square off on WWE RAW in a tag team street fight, anticipation mounts regarding the potential prize awaiting the victor. It has to be seen whether the winners of this high-stakes match will earn a coveted opportunity to challenge Judgment Day for their tag team titles.
