Jim Ross Confirms Finn Balor Shoulder Injury, Blogs On Fan Backlash To Universal Championship Belt
Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com looking back at last night's WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view. Here are some highlights:
Finn Balor injuring his shoulder:
"Reports of Balor injuring his shoulder during the title match are true and WWE will determine the extend of the injury ASAP. Hopefully, Finn won't need surgery which would be extremely unfortunate."
Balor vs. Seth Rollins:
"Thoroughly enjoyed Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins and this was an other finish that pleasantly surprised me as I predicted that Rollins would get the duke in Brooklyn. Great main roster, career launching victory for the Irish lad who has an unlimited upside. Hats off to Rollins who helped facilitate Balor's reign as the first ever Universal Champion who arguably has the most controversial looking title belt in recent memory in the business. The belt seemed to turn heel before our very eyes on the broadcast which is actually funny when one thinks about it.
"I've never seen a reaction to a title belt as we all experienced Sunday night. Sign of the times I assume."
