Finn Balor says he suffered grade 2 calf tear three weeks before WrestleMania

In a post on Instagram, Finn Balor revealed that he suffered a grade 2 calf tear just a few weeks before WrestleMania.

The injury occurred during the March 10 episode of Smackdown where Judgment Day took on Legado Del Fantasma.

“Normal recovery time is estimated at 6-8 weeks. Hold my beer,” Balor wrote, detailing his injury.

“With just 3 weeks & 2 days to WrestleMania WWE medical team ‘threw the kitchen sink at it’ & with some careful planning, long days of rehab and a lot of swear words we made it back in time with a day or two spare,” he continued.

Balor was in a high-profile match at WrestleMania, taking on Edge in a Hell In A Cell match. Balor suffered a long cut to his head during the match and got stapled at ringside by medical personnel while the match was temporarily paused to stop the bleeding.

Balor gave extra thanks to someone named CJ for not taking a day off for three weeks to help him rehab as well as Jeff Cavaliere and David Holmes.
