Balor recently took to Twitter to confirm that he will return on WWE NXT next week. This also puts an end to all the rumors surrounding his main roster return. The Prince has several interesting storylines awaiting him on NXT. He will continue to pose a huge threat to Kross’ NXT Championship reign and could demand a rematch.

Finn Balor can also find himself involved in long-term narratives, including Kyle O'Reilly. The latter’s association with Balor kickstarted the internal turmoil amidst The Undisputed Era that eventually led to the stable’s shocking split. Most importantly, Balor is now free to pursue the WWE NXT UK title as was initially planned.
