-Shane McMahon suffered a torn quad during his impromptu match with The Miz at WrestleMania 39. Paul Levesque announced the news during the post show press conference.
-Finn Balor suffered a massive cut on his head during his Hell in a Cell match with Edge. The injury was caused by a ladder that struck his head and required staples to close.
Powell’s POV: Balor released a photo of the cut that can be viewed below, but it’s definitely not for the squeamish. Balor was able to finish the match after reportedly getting the staples at ringside during the time that the match was halted. There’s no word as to whether he will be sidelined. Meanwhile, Shane suffered the injury while performing a basic leapfrog. When you think of all the crazy stunts that Shane has done over the years, it’s crazy that a basic leapfrog what is likely the most serious injury he’s had. Here’s wishing both men the best in their recoveries.

“When you think of all the crazy stunts that Shane has done over the years, it’s crazy that a basic leapfrog what is likely the most serious injury he’s had.”
But when you take into account that he hasn’t been in the ring in over a year and that he’s 53, it isn’t crazy at all.
I’m sure Shane is a nice guy but frankly I hope I never see him in a ring or on a wrestling show ever again.
Shane should really retire as an in ring performer. He has nothing to prove and isn’t getting any younger. He’s given the fans some great moments and had legendary matches with hall of fame performers.
Oh no! How can a show survive without Shane. Forget Cody wrestling with a torn inside Hell In A Cell, no this is serious.
Sorry. Torn pec. Shit!
