The latest edition of WWE NXT was action-packed and a great episode. However, the after-effects of Takeover 31 could easily be seen on the Superstars that performed.

Even though both shows were intense, they have substantially increased the injury list for the Black and Gold brand. The big news definitely is NXT Champion Finn Balor’s broken jaw. A running knee by Kyle O’Reilly broke Balor’s jaw in two places causing oral problems for the Prince.

As his jaw heals, Finn Balor has been put on a strict liquid diet. The challenger Kyle O’Reilly has Contusions, and a swollen liver. Both superstars will not be medically cleared for some days or even weeks.

Triple H Reacts to Finn Balor Breaking His Jaw During NXT Championship Match

WWE has two new injury concerns after this week’s NXT

This week on NXT, Ridge Holland faced Danny Burch. Holland wasn’t done with the action and attacked Burch after the match, which brought out his partner Oney Lorcan.

Lorcan launched himself over the top rope onto Holland, resulting in a dislocated and fractured ankle for the latter. The British Superstar also suffered from Patellar dislocation and ruptured patellar Tendon. Holland will soon be undergoing surgery and will be out for some time.

In the main event, four potential challengers for Io Shirai’s NXT Women’s championship were in action. Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai faced off against Rhea Ripley and the returning Ember Moon.

The match ended with Moon hitting the eclipse for the win. However, the night didn’t end well for Dakota Kai. The New Zealander suffered back and neck pain and is not medically cleared for the coming weeks.

We are less than three weeks away from NXT Halloween Havoc hosted by Shotzi Blackheart. The injury mountain is just growing larger and larger as the days pass.

It will be interesting to see what implications all these injuries will have on the PPV. Finn Balor has promised he will be back soon but will it be at Haloween Havoc? Only time will tell.
