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.
