During the post-show press conference, 2-time WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels (who is also WWE’s Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative) revealed that Dijak’s finger isn’t broken and called it a miracle.
Below is what HBK said:
“Yeah, everybody is good. I announced it at gorilla, it got to be a miracle. It’s not broken.
We got him x-ray. They said it’s not broken. And so yeah, I guess what you do is you kind of numb it and put it back in place and that’s what’s happening now.
But it is, again, a modern miracle because we all saw it, it was pretty gnarly looking. But apparently, he’s going to be okay, which is obviously fantastic news for us and him.”
