Major Update On Finn Balor’s NXT Return

It’s good to have him back. An injury is one of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler. You never know when someone can be put onto the injured list but the bigger problem is wondering when they will be back on the active list. Some injuries are worse than others but now one of the bigger names on the injured list is going to be back sooner rather than later.

As is the case with most wrestling companies, NXT is built around its stars and in particular, its main champion. For some reason though, the NXT Title has seemed to be a little bit cursed as of late, with Karrion Kross being injured during his title win and having to vacate the title. Then new champion Finn Balor was injured as well, putting him on the shelf for several weeks. He would be back at some point though and now we know when that will be.

NXT Champion Finn Balor suffered a broken jaw during his title defense against Kyle O’Reilly at Takeover: 31, putting him on the shelf for several weeks. Balor has not been seen in person since, but his return was announced during this week’s edition of NXT. It was announced that Balor would be returning to address the NXT fans next week, though it is not clear when he will be returning to the ring.

Balor is worth waiting on. Check out what NXT is getting back:

Opinion: This is one of those things that can only be good for NXT, which has been dying for some star power in recent weeks. There are only so many things that you can do without the top star around for so long and they could use a nice extended run with Balor around. He is the biggest name in the promotion by a long stretch and having him back should be the boost that NXT needs.

What do you expect from Balor’s return? Who will be his next challenger? Let us know in the comments below.
