Finn Balor Provides an Update on His Injury Status, When Does He Hope to Return to the Ring? (Video)

September 14, 2016

WWE has released the video below, featuring Finn Balor offering an update on his injury and return status. Balor says he hopes to be back in action in time for WrestleMania 33, and is just under 5 months away from returning. Balor noted he is rehabbing 5 days a week and says he will be returning to Birmingham, Alabama again next week for therapy and to visit the doctor.

Balor said he went home to Orlando following his injury and was left to his own thoughts, and had to come to terms with everything that happened in Brooklyn over SummerSlam weekend, but he said the outpouring of support from his friends, family and the WWE Universe has helped him get through it all:

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
