This is a depressing thought, so sorry in advance.

SummerSlam 2016 was a bittersweet night for Finn Bálor. He became the first ever Universal Champ by beating Seth Rollins, but suffered a torn labrum during a powerbomb spot outside the ring and had to vacate the belt 24 hours later on Raw. It was a bummer, and it'll be in the back of his mind come Saturday.

There's every chance that Seth and Finn will at least tease another bump onto the steel barriers too, and there's the worry here. What if they go for it and Bálor suffers another nasty injury that totally derails all the great work he's been doing as part of Judgment Day?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeesus, that's a crappy thought. The alternative (admittedly irrational) fear is that Finn takes revenge on Rollins by giving him the same bump, and it's Seth who needs time off afterwards. That'd suck too, because it'd interrupt his World Title reign.
