Finn Balor posted a number of tweets talking about his WWE Universal Championship victory and the moment he got injured and subsequent surgery:
"What a rollercoaster week. I woke up the morning of Summerslam with nothing but positivity & feeling physically better than ever"
"The moment I got injured I knew it was serious, it was an instinctive reaction to pull on my wrist, I entered survival mode."
"When the bell rang, I had won, I was the Champion, but I was reluctant to celebrate as I already knew in my heart what awaited at Raw"
"Disappointed yes, but I was CHAMPION and I was not missing an opportunity to fulfill my duty and appear on @GMA Monday morning."
"After hours of scans & despite some hope, the worst was confirmed at 5pm Monday. I would need surgery ASAP & relinquish the title on Raw"
"The most difficult part of relinquishing the title was when I came back through the curtain and I was over come by a feeling of inadequacy"
"Despite every emotion I had felt the previous 24 hours... I was still the CHAMPION. That gave me strength. Now I was not...."
"Tuesday at 3am I traveled to Birmingham Alabama. Dr.Dugas prepped me for surgery as a photo of Seth Rollins watched over us."
"What was supposed to be a 1hr surgery turned into 4hr, as once I was opened up ,the Dr found a lot more to the injury the the scans showed"
"180* labrum tear Thorn bicep and pectoral tendon Cartilage damage & Fracture to the glenoid neck socket (I have it in a jar on my dresser)"
"Wednesday morning at 5am I awake after the surgery groggy and sore. The gravity of the situation began to set in. Rehab will start at 9am."
"Thursday 5am fly back to Orlando, check-in with Performance Center medical staff & we begin planning The Comeback"
