Finn Balor is one of the best workhorses in WWE. He arguably ranks among the most consistent wrestlers in all of professional wrestling as rarely do his matches ever disappoint. He has built a reputation amongst wrestling fans for being the Superstar who always has a good match whenever he's booked to perform.

Finn always makes sure that the viewers like what he does at whatever cost necessary. During his seven years in WWE, The Prince has had two major instances where he finished a match even though he was injured. The first one occurred at SummerSlam 2016 during a match against Seth Rollins for the newly introduced Universal Championship.

In that match, Rollins went for the Powerbomb on Balor on the barricade, However, Balor had an awkward impact which resulted in a dislocated shoulder. Being the tough man that he is, Balor popped the shoulder back into its place and continued the rest of the match which he eventually won. He later had to vacate the title due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the aforementioned match.

Four years later, Balor had another similar incident that took place at NXT TakeOver 31. During a match against Kyle O'Reilly for the NXT Championship, Balor dislocated his jaw after O'Reilly rammed his knee into Balor's face.

Just like at WWE SummerSlam in 2016, Finn Balor fought through an injury. This time, however, it was his jaw that got injured. Balor later revealed that he was in excruciating pain at the time. Fighting through an injury like this requires a lot of courage and Balor has done it twice at this point.
