Finn Balor reveals nasty head cut suffered at WWE WrestleMania 39
Finn Balor has shared a look at the injury that caused his WrestleMania 39 match against Edge to be momentarily paused.
Balor and Edge’s Hell in a Cell match took place in the semi-main event of WrestleMania Sunday. During a spot where Edge threw a ladder at Balor, it hit Balor in the head and busted him open. The referee checked on Balor and held Edge off from going after him. Doctors then entered the cell to tend to Balor.

After Balor received medical attention, the match continued. It ended with Edge pinning Balor after giving him a spear and a con-chair-to. Leading into the finish, Balor went for a Coup de Grace from the wall of the cell. Edge moved out of the way and Balor went crashing through a table.
