The backdrop to the feud was an intriguing one, with the evil faction being a thorn in Edge’s path since last year. It is hard to determine whether the freak injury played any part in the eventual outcome of the match. But it seems like the Judgement Day leader may be out of action for a while. He has had terrible luck when it comes to suffering from untimely injuries.

Finn Balor has had terrible luck with injuries
However, any joy was short-lived as the former Bullet Club leader had to relinquish his title the next night owing to a dislocated shoulder issue. It has been hard for Balor to reach those unassailable heights in his main roster career since. The association with the villainous stable has been a blessing in disguise for him. But it has to be said Mania was not kind to him this time around.
