3) Update On Finn Balor’s Injury
WWE announced that Finn Balor broke his jaw in two places at NXT Takeover: 31. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the injury is not as serious as what WWE is making it out to be.
Here is what Meltzer said:
“It’s not inaccurate, but I was told that it was made out to be worse than it is, whatever that means. I was told that by somebody there — I mean he’s got a broken jaw, but that’s what I was told.”
My Take:
- This is good news as I was worried that Balor would have had to vacate the NXT Championship. It sounds like he will be fine and back in a few weeks.
2) WWE Has Had Discussions With A Soccer Player About A Potential Career Change
During a recent interview with talkSPORT, Adebayo Akinfenwa revealed that he has spoken with WWE about a potential career with the company after his soccer days are over. Here is what he said:
“I’ve had a couple of calls recently in regards to that. I’ll be following up on that soon – so it could go up or down depending on the outcome of that.
“I can’t tell you a direct percentage in terms of that [coming to fruition], but it’s something I’m really passionate about, so watch this space, people.”
Adebayo is 38 years old and currently plays for the Wycombe Wanderers of the English second division.
My Take:
- I don’t know much about him but this will be something interesting to follow over the next year to see if he signs.
