• Finn Balor, the reigning Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion, faced a concerning moment at the WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event where he and Damian Priest successfully defended their titles against Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate.
Despite sustaining a bloody thumb, orchestrated as part of Pete Dunne’s tactics, Balor displayed convincing distress at the end of the match, leaving fans anxious about the nature of his injury.
According to an update on his condition after the Premium Live Event, as mentioned by the Wrestling Observer, Finn Balor, who portrayed a heavily bleeding thumb, is reported to be fine. The uncertainty during the match raised questions about whether it was a break or a cut, but it seems that whatever the issue was, Balor is in good health.
Here’s what they reported:
“And then 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.”
