RAW General Manager Mick Foley just sent out a tweet around a half hour before RAW tonight revealing that Finn Balor has been forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship after suffering an injury at SummerSlam last night.
As reported earlier, Balor suffered a dislocated shoulder and a possible labrum tear after taking a powerbomb to the ring barricade from Seth Rollins at SummerSlam in Brooklyn on Sunday night. WWE posted footage of when the injury took place.
You can check out Foley’s tweet below.
We will have live coverage of RAW tonight beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET (7:00 CT).
Due to his injury, @StephMcMahon and I jointly accept @FinnBalor relinquishing of the @WWE Universal Championship. #Raw
