Last week on Monday Night RAW, Finn Balor was involved in a match with Jinder Mahal where he reportedly picked up a concussion.During the match, The Demon King took a strong elbow to the head from The Man of Peace, causing him to crash to the ring canvas and look shaky for the rest of the match. Balor was able to finish and still win the bout, but he also had visible red marks across his face and forehead.It was later reported that Balor had picked up a concussion during the match, meaning he could be missing a couple of weeks of action after only recently returning from his shoulder injury from SummerSlam last year.

However, last night on RAW, Balor fans were given some great news, as the man himself revealed he wasn't taking any time off at all when he accepted Curt Hawkins' challenge and won against The Prince of Queens with ease.
It looked like The Demon King hadn't suffered any concussion at all as he won against Hawkins very quickly. Balor took to Twitter after his match to poke fun at the reports which said he had picked up a concussion last week.
On Twitter, Balor posted a picture of himself looking in the mirror at a plaster his forehead, with a caption which read: "It was just a scratch."
From what we saw on RAW last night, it looks as though Balor will be completely fine following the events of last week and this should have no repercussions towards his expected feud with Bray Wyatt after the Payback pay-per-view is in the books.
WWE had pulled Balor from live events last weekend, so the concussion was real. The Demon King was just able to pass an Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test aka ImPACT test at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio before RAW, according to PWInsider's Mike Johnson, meaning he was able to compete on the show.
Balor even sent a tweet to Mahal last Friday following their match to show there were no hard feelings between the two superstars.
It's good to hear that The Demon King is able to return to in-ring action so quickly, and hopefully, after what is bound to be an epic feud with Bray Wyatt, Balor is back in a championship picture where he belongs.
