Finn Balor suffered a broken jaw in two places at NXT TakeOver: 31. He retained the NXT Title against Kyle O’Reilly, but the NXT Champion is out of action. A broken jaw typically takes six to eight weeks to heal, but the belief is that things might not be as bad as they could be.

“It’s not inaccurate [that his jaw is broken in two places], 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.”
