During an interview with Sports Illustrated last month, Finn Balor said that he would return at the Royal Rumble if Vince McMahon asked him to. But, he also said that his target return date is WrestleMania 33, which seems a lot more realistic.
On Sunday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that Balor isn’t planning on, nor is he scheduled to return to the ring until early-March. So, it looks like we won’t see The Demon King on January 29.
“I had heard early-March. A lot of people when I say that go ‘they always lie,’ and usually when you’re given a date on when a guy is gonna come back in WWE, it’s usually early. The only thing is everyone remembers John Cena, because John Cena’s a freak and everything like that. John Cena always comes back early, but if they say a guy is gonna be out for like five months, it’s usually six or seven. It’s almost always longer, and I’m not saying this will be, but we’ll see. I just know the last thing he said was early-March.”
Balor was injured back at SummerSlam on August 21, and he underwent surgery about a week later. The original prognosis for his return was six to eight months, which would mean that he will, in fact, return in March.
