WWE has confirmed that Finn Balor will relinquish his newly-won WWE Universal Title on tonight’s RAW from Brooklyn.
As noted, Balor suffered a shoulder injury at the hands of Seth Rollins on Sunday at SummerSlam. The injury came when Rollins powerbombed Balor into the barricade.
RAW GM Mick Foley tweeted the following on Balor relinquishing the title tonight:
Due to his injury, @StephMcMahon and I jointly accept @FinnBalor relinquishing of the @WWE Universal Championship. #Raw
