Injured WWE Star Pulled From House Show
The Raw wrestler was pulled from the live event as a precaution.
Finn Balor was pulled from an advertised appearance at yesterday's (9 November) WWE house show in Nottingham, England.
Per PWInsider's Mike Johnson, this was a precautionary measure as the former Universal and NXT Champion is currently recovering from a "minor issue," though there's currently no word on what that injury might entail. Wrestling Inc.'s Harrison Smith notes that Balor's inability to compete was announced to the live crowd.
Balor had wrestled several different opponents on the UK tour's first few shows. Working a United States Title Fatal Four-Way with Damian Priest, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins initially, he progressed to wrestle singles matches with Sheamus in Liverpool (7 November) and Leeds (8 November), and was scheduled to face Happy Corbin in Nottingham. Jeff Hardy ended up taking his place, beating Corbin in a switch from his originally advertised bout with Madcap Moss.
The 2021 Draft saw Balor move from SmackDown to Raw after losing a Universal Championship feud with Roman Reigns. These changes came into play on 22 October, and Finn has since wrestled twice on his new home.
There is currently no clarification on whether or not Balor will be forced to miss television time due to his latest injury.
