Former WWE champ appeared to get knocked out cold in the middle of a match on Monday Night Raw

Former WWE champion Finn Balor made his return to Monday Night Raw just one week ago, but he may already be injured yet again.

During his match Monday night against Jinder Mahal, Balor caught an elbow to the temple, which crumbled his knees and his face went straight into the mat.

The way Finn's body flails around and how he hits, plus the mat burn on his forehead/nose afterwards, this seems like a legit knock out. pic.twitter.com/acbSdQW7Ij

If Balor wasn't knocked out, he sure must have been close:

Looks like @FinnBalor might have actually gotten knocked out for a second there. #SuperstarShakeUp #WWE #RAW

@JinderMahal looks like he just straight up knocked out @FinnBalor. Finn went face first into the mat. #potatoe #wwe #why

Balor went on to win the contest. Hopefully he escaped significant injury.
