Finn Balor Revealed Calf Injury Suffered Prior to WrestleMania 39

Finn Balor revealed on Instagram earlier today that he had suffered a calf tear injury this past March but managed to heal enough in time to for his Hell in a Cell match against Edge at this past Sunday’s WWE WrestleMania 39 event.

On March 10th Ep of Smackdown I sustained a grade 2 calf tear.
Normal recovery time is estimated at 6-8 weeks.
Hold my beer!
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!
My wife said it best. ‘This injury has been the Demon of your career, and you need to over come this Demon to Release YOUR DEMON at Wrestlemania’ @verolaguera
Special thanks to CJ for his incredible work ( and not taking a day off for 3 weeks)
Extra mention to @docholmes & @athleanx for all their support.

Chelsea Green Hospitalized Over Gallbladder Issues

Chelsea Green recently announced on Twitter that she was hospitalized on Thursday due to her suffering a severe stomach bug and a distended gall bladder health issue earlier this week.

I thought I celebrated my first Mania too hard … turns out I actually had a severe stomach bug & a distended gall bladder.
(Thank god the manager of the ER took care of me. Will NOT be filing any complaints this weekend.)

Logan Paul Comments on His Match Against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39

A recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast featured co-host Logan Paul’s thoughts about his recent match with Seth Rollins at this past Saturday’s WrestleMania 39 event in Inglewood, California.

“For the first time after one of these wrestling events, I walked away pretty much… They call it a mouse (Paul said when asked about the bump on his eyelid). Like a little mark on your eye and the hand marks of Seth Rollins on my chest. He was slapping the sh*t out of me. I’m good. Meniscus is fine… Elbow’s fine. Elbow hurt a little bit beforehand. I did hit my head a little bit and my vision went blurry. These things happen but it wasn’t a concussion. It was like a vision hit. There was like rings around my eyes. They gave me a concussion test and I passed.
That spot (with K.S.I. at WrestleMania 39) was probably one of the coolest — I’m bias. Probably one of the coolest product integrations WWE’s ever had. They are the best organization in the world for creativity and for PRIME, you know, we’re pretty innovative with marketing and as is our brand, we are disruptors and so we approach marketing in the same way so when we came up with this idea to jump onto the PRIME bottle where J.J. would be inside it and have a surprise reveal, I didn’t think it was gonna get approved. How could it get approved?
I thought beforehand, for sure, it (match versus Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39) was gonna be my best match and then afterwards, I just didn’t feel like that. I felt it was good. It was on par, it wasn’t a level down. But I noticed it’s getting harder and harder every time to make these matches better. When I’m picking an opponent and I’m at the bottom of this mountain trying to build what I want I want to be an amazing, entertaining match, man, these mountains are getting higher and higher and it’s terrifying and incredibly complicated. I don’t know how I’m going to keep doing this and upping the bar every time. That’s like my challenge in this but it’s so much fun because I’m gonna have to get more creative, I’ma have to go a little harder.”

Paul also gave his thoughts about his zipline entrance for his match at the event.

“Get me as high as I can possibly go (in a ring). I love flying which is why I requested the zipline. I requested this zipline (for) last year’s WrestleMania, my first-ever WrestleMania ever. I said, ‘WWE, can I get a zipline in?’ They’re like, ‘Why don’t you get a match in first, kid?’ I was like, ‘I get that, I get that.’ But this year, I requested the zipline again, it got denied and I was like, ‘Hey, it is like a liability thing? Can I convince them to do it? Is it an insurance thing? I’ll cover it’ and the WWE got me a zipline into SoFi Stadium for my birthday… Like four different companies (were contacted to get that zipline setup squared away). Very expensive stunt and I love the WWE so much for doing this because when I was flying in the air on that zipline, I’m looking around at all these eyeballs and phones just pointed at me and ever since I moved out to Hollywood which was where WrestleMania took place this year, my goal was to be the biggest entertainer in the world and God damn, in that moment I felt like the biggest entertainer in the world.”
