WWE star Finn Balor receives some horrible injury news

Published Aug. 23, 2016 10:07 a.m. ET

Finn Balor made history Sunday night at SummerSlam, becoming the first man to win a world championship on his WWE pay-per-view debut - and he wrestled nearly the entire match with a severe shoulder injury. 

Early in Balor's match against Seth Rollins - which was overshadowed by neverending "this belt sucks" chants - Rollins tossed Balor into the barricade near the corner of the ring, dislocating Balor's shoulder. Balor immediately popped it back into place and the match continued as if nothing had happened. 

On Monday, however, Balor appeared on Raw in a sling and was forced to give up his Universal Championship, setting up a tournament that will conclude with a Fatal Four Way match next Monday for the title featuring Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns and Big Cass. WWE revealed that Balor will undergo surgery, and could be out until 2017.
