Finn Balor Once Again Injured After Suffering Concussion On Monday Night's WWE RAW
In news sure to devastate fans, Finn Balor is back on the shelf thanks to a brutal forearm during his match with Jinder Mahal this past Monday night on RAW. Hit the jump for the latest details...
Finn Balor recently returned from a serious shoulder injury, but thanks to Jinder Mahal, The Demon is back on the shelf.

Whether or not Mahal will be punished remains to be seen, but it's hard to imagine him receiving any sort of push on SmackDown Live now he's put one of RAW's biggest names on the injured list. Here's how the concussion occurred during the match between the two:
