Something happened to my bicep tendon on [the right] side, which had never happened before. I don\u2019t even know specifically what happened; it was no person\u2019s fault, it was only a freak thing. I used to be walking to the back after the match, my bicep was feeling very funky and it looked funky. It turned out that I had a slight tear in my right bicep tendon, the one which attaches to the shoulder. Nothing serious enough to require surgery. I kept wrestling, finished the tour, and carried on as normal.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cProgressively, the appropriate side was giving me more trouble. Sometimes, I couldn\u2019t extend my elbow all the way in which or it hurt to or I\u2019d have pain within the lower a part of the bicep. eventually, I made a decision to get it checked out for my sanity. I got MRIs on my shoulder, tricep, and bicep tendons. The doctor explained to me that they found different issues.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Episode 1: The Injury\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3LiUm8n-tyI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finn Balor has huge respect for UFC and boxing fighters, nevertheless, he has no real interest in crossing over.<\/p>\n<p>At a Zuffa Boxing press event, Balor made it clear that he would relatively stay in his lane and keep doing WWE, despite TKO\u2019s crossover potential.
