NXT Champion Finn Balor and challenger Kyle O’Reilly gave their everything during the main event at NXT: takeover 31. While O’Reilly suffered an injury in his teeth, the NXT Champion suffered a broken jaw.

A few hours ago, WWE on Fox took to Twitter to reveal the X-ray of Balor’s broken jaw. Notably, Balor injured his jaw in two places during his match against O’Reilly.

Finn Balor also posted his X-Ray pictures on social media. The Champion sent a message along with it, proudly claiming that he was still the champion despite going through hell.

WWE Issues Statement on Injured NXT Superstars From Takeover 31

Will Finn Balor suffer the Karrion Kross fate?

A similar situation occurred a few months back at NXT TakeOver: XXX where Karrion Kross faced Keith Lee for the NXT Championship. Kross defeated Lee and became the new champion.

However, Kross suffered a horrific shoulder injury during the match and had to relinquish the title. A PPV later, WWE could have a similar situation on their hands.

According to journalist Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Live, Balor made the call to end the match early. The original finish had some more sequences before the final Coupe de Grace.

However, due to the injuries, both Superstars had to cut down on the match time. Finn Balor seems confident to return and should not miss much television time. However, it will not be surprising if WWE keeps him out longer so that he can recover properly from his injury.

WWE NXT: Halloween Havoc is just 20 days away and by Balor’s judgment it seems he will be back. However, it is difficult to guess the fate of the title.

After a stellar performance by Kyle O’Reilly, fans will definitely want him to get another shot at the title. However, only time will tell what Triple H has in store.
