Does Finn Balor Have Backstage Heat After Late Kickout on WWE RAW?

On the most recent episode of Monday Night RAW, held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins engaged in a fierce battle. This highly anticipated encounter served as the main event, with the winners securing a place in the men’s Elimination Chamber match.

John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and Damian Priest have already earned their spots in the match, making it a fight between Finn Balor and Seth Rollins for the remaining place. In a heated competition, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins went head-to-head to claim the final entry.

Nevertheless, a questionable end to the game stirred up debate due to a late count. This happened as Rollins executed a Pedigree on Balor, seemingly securing the win, but before the referee had officially reached a count of three, Balor managed to kick out.

The postponed ejection left spectators puzzled, causing them to vocally express their disapproval with chants like “Referee, you’re terrible.” Rollins then confronted the referee and made a derisive gesture by saying “Suck It”. Despite the mishap, Rollins ultimately secured the win through executing a Curb Stomp, thereby securing his position in the Elimination Chamber competition.
