Finn Balor Update
Finn Balor missed last night’s Smackville live special due to a reported injury, but that appears to be a storyline cover for an undisclosed illness.
According to PWInsider.com, Balor is actually dealing with an illness, not an injury. No other details were provided. At the top of last night’s show, WWE announced Balor would not compete due to “an undisclosed injury” that Balor suffered during the week. He was replaced by Ali in the match, and Shinsuke Nakamura ended up picking up the win.
