Recovering from a successful surgery with @dr.anuppatel , @dr.edgarsosa and nurse @verolaguera Last Friday, i underwent surgery for 2 fractures of my jaw, including one going into my tooth. After the tooth was removed, I was wired shut to restore my bite and help align the fractures. Then 3 plates where screwed in to fixate the fractures for a quick recovery. Thankfully no wires were needed after surgery!

Balor is still the NXT Champion as of this writing. Prior to Balor winning the title, Karrion Kross had to relinquish the gold after separating his shoulder at TakeOver 30.
