New WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor was injured during his Universal Championship win over Seth Rollins last night at SummerSlam.
In his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross confirmed, “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.”
Sources indicate that Balor is scheduled to be looked at today and WWE officials will then make a decision on how to proceed from there. The Demon King was sporting a sling on his arm after last night’s pay-per-view:

*Update #2* From WWE.Com
Inaugural WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor suffered an injury to his right shoulder against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, WWE.com can confirm.
The injury came in the course of Bálor and Rollins’ match to determine which Superstar would become the first WWE Universal Champion, specifically when Bálor absorbed a running powerbomb to the barricade at the hands of The Architect.
“He hit the wall during the match, dislocated his shoulder and was able to put it back in himself in a split second,” said ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson. Bálor was able to finish the match, but Dr. Robinson noted that an MRI yielded results earlier today showing “a possible labrum tear.”
