Finn Balor will be backstage at Raw tonight to undergo medical testing for the concussion he suffered on Raw last week, according to PWInsider. Balor would need to pass concussion tests to be cleared to return to action. It is still possible that he could appear on TV in a non-wrestling segment if he isn’t cleared tonight, but he’s not currently involved in any storylines so WWE may not decide to immediately rush him back.
Balor suffered the injury after a forearm from Jinder Mahal on Raw last week.
The way Finn's body flails around and how he hits, plus the mat burn on his forehead/nose afterwards, this seems like a legit knock out. pic.twitter.com/acbSdQW7Ij
