Finn Balor plans to spend the Holidays at home, dousing water on previous rumors tied up to a potential early return to WWE action. Balor is still recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained at SummerSlam 2016, something that will take six months to heal.
The WWE Universe went into a mild frenzy recently when Finn Balor’s name was on the list spotted over at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cageside Seats reported. It was apparently an outdated advertisement which should be updated soon.
If that is not enough to convince WWE fans that he is not ready to return, Balor made it clear that he plans to spend the Holidays at home with family and friends, ScreenGeek reported. The earliest time to see him back in action is 2017.
Seeing Balor return prematurely was a long shot, to begin with. He suffered the injury when he faced Seth Rollins but managed to continue and hold the distinction of being the first-ever WWE Raw Universal champion.
Balor was forced to relinquish the title barely 24 hours later due to the injury. Kevin Owens would eventually win the title with aid from Triple H in a Fatal Four-Way match. KO continues to hold on to the belt as of this writing with no word if he will hold on to it until Balor is cleared to return.
The “Demon King” is expected to target the Universal title upon return. A likely match for it may happen at Wrestlemania 33. The question though is whether it would be Owens or someone else.
Roman Reigns has been given a push lately though there is no certainty if he will become the next Universal champion. Seth Rollins is out of the mix with belief that he will settle his differences with Triple H at Wrestlemania as well.
Whether it be Owens or Reigns, Balor’s return is what most are awaiting. He has proven to be a big hit with the fans and obviously many want to see him back in action soon.
