Top WWE star recalls dreadful botch during match against Adam Copeland (fka Edge)
A WWE Superstar recently reflected on a horrifying botch that took place during his match against Adam Copeland (fka Edge). The bout took place last year.
The star in question is The Judgment Day member, Finn Balor. Finn squared off against WWE Hall of Famer, Adam Copeland (fka Edge) inside the Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 39 last year. During the brutal encounter, Balor suffered a nasty blow as he got hit by a ladder on his head.
Speaking on the What's The Story podcast recently, Finn Balor recalled his Hell in a Cell match against Edge last year and reflected on the botch.
"I turn around and I thought 'No problem.It's coming straight up at me, I'll just put my hands out.' So I put my hands up, but the rungs of the ladder went straight through the gaps of my hands. So the ladder's still coming. I'm like 'There's a ladder still coming. Why is the ladder still coming at me? I've got my hands up. Why aren't my hands blocking it?'"
Balor further revealed:
"And then at the last second, I just dropped my chin, and it got me in the head. I thought 'Oww, that stung.' But it wasn't a bad bang or anything. It wasn't a concussion, it wasn't like I went out for a minute. It was nothing. And I just went down and went 'Whew. That was weird.' And I'm on my back, so I roll over onto all fours, and then I see the waterfall of blood just come drip, drip, drip, drip, drip drip." [H/T: WrestlingINC]

The World Tag Team Champion Finn Balor also opened up on how the Hell in a Cell match against Adam Copeland (fka Edge) got delayed after he suffered the dreadful injury:
"Now the camera is on me, just shooting in case for something on the Network. It's not like going on live, but they're shooting it, and I'm aware that the cameras there. I was like 'I've got to stay in character there.' So I'm looking at the doctor in the eyes with the paint and all the blood dripping down, and I go 'Staple it! Staple it!' So she starts getting scared, right? So she goes 'Does that hurt?' I said 'No, it's fine. Just keep going.'" [H/T: WrestlingINC]
In the end, the current AEW star prevailed over Balor in the match. Only time will tell what WWE has in store for The Judgment Day star going forward.
