The labrum tear in Finn Balor’s shoulder was “more severe than normal” according to the doctor who repaired the injury.
Dr. Jeffrey Dugas spoke to WWE.com after the procedure and revealed doctors were surprised at what they saw once they began operating. “Finn’s injury was pretty severe, more severe than normal. A really high energy injury, it did more damage than a standard shoulder dislocation where you simply tear the labrum.”
As noted, the injury was sustained at SummerSlam when Seth Rollins power bombed him at ringside, sending him flying back-first into the barricade.
Even though Finn Balor has a long road ahead, Dr. Dugas is optimistic the Demon King will make a full recovery. “The prognosis is excellent,” he said. “We were able to fix it all and put it back where it came from. I’m anticipating him getting back at full speed.”
There was no further mention of recovery time, so he should be on the 4-6 month timeframe initially reported by WWE.com.
Despite a hellish 72 hour roller coaster ride, the RAW Superstar was all smiles after surgery on Wednesday:
