RUMOR: Finn Balor to return before WrestleMania

A former NXT Champion and the first ever WWE Universal Champion could be returning sooner rather than later to World Wrestling Entertainment, according to Wrestling News World. That's right ladies and gentlemen, Finn Balor could be on his way back to the WWE before the biggest event of the year, WrestleMania! He has been rehabilitating a torn labrum since Summerslam 2016, where the injury occurred due to a powerbomb on the barricade from his opponent Seth Rollins.

His initial timetable for a return was for him to come back at the Show Of Shows, but it has been speculated and reported by multiple outlets that his rehabilitation is running ahead of schedule. "The Demon King" seemed to confirm this himself in an interview with Sam Roberts, where he had this to say:

"Yeah, [the sling came off]. Like down here, I feel real good, but I've got to be real careful. The target's WrestleMania. There's talk it could be sooner, but really that's the hard target. And that's what I'm aiming for right now."

The original plan for the push of Finn Balor was to become the face of RAW after winning the universal championship, but obviously those plans were nixed after his unfortunate injury. There are plans to give him a major push upon his return to WWE television, but as this business is, plans and bookings are subject to change at any time.
