Question: have you ever been browsing Twitter and come across a graphic for a match you didn't even know was happening? Usually, this occurs when WWE leak the next pay-per-view's Kickoff match online last-minute, and it's pretty clear at that point the bout isn't very important.

Imagine being Finn Bálor, merrily browsing social media during some well-earned down time, only to see your own smiling mug staring back at you.

Finn appeared on the Notsam Wrestling Podcast this week and revealed quite the shocker. Apparently, he didn't have a clue he'd be working with Drew McIntyre at this Sunday's TLC show. Nobody in WWE had thought to tell him, and so Bálor found out the same way fans did: by checking his social media.

This was either a gross oversight from those who were supposed to smarten up Finn or a sign of how far his stock within the promotion has fallen. No prizes for guessing what the result will be this weekend.
