This was noticed when blood could be seen trickling down his jaw during and after the match. O’Reilly also had a similar situation and he too may have been injured.

Recent reports state that Bálor was rushed to the hospital after the match for immediate treatment. The latest updates about his condition were only just revealed.

According to Wrestling Inc, Triple H confirmed in a post-event media call that Bálor was indeed in the hospital. He claimed that there was no serious damage but X-Rays were taken just to find the source of the bleeding. A broken jaw was suspected.

Although there is no official confirmation of the injury, Bálor was checked up just as a precaution. More news is soon expected to come out on the topic.

Kyle O’Reilly may just join Finn Bálor in the injury list

Another major concern at this time is the state of Kyle O’Reilly. The spirited fighter was bleeding from the mouth far before Bálor and may also have sustained some damage.

Triple H assured fans that he was being checked upon by the WWE medical staff. There has been no update on the issue which is also set to come to light soon.

O’Reilly had a massive backing from many NXT Superstars who recognized his consistent hard work. Even former NXT Champion Adam Cole gave him his full support ahead of the fight.
