EXCELLENT CHOICE, @RealKurtAngle! @FinnBalor is BACK to team with @WWERollins against @FightOwensFight and @SamoaJoe NEXT on #RAW!
Finn Balor returned to Monday Night Raw tonight on the first show after WrestleMania.
Balor teamed up with Seth Rollins in a match against Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens. Earlier in the night, Chris Jericho had been slated to appear as Rollins’ opponent, but he was attacked backstage by Kevin Owens, making room for Balor’s return.
Finn Balor has been gone from the WWE since August 2016; he was legitimately injured during a match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. He was the first Universal Champion, though he had to vacate his title immediately after winning it.
Fans in Orlando, Florida were ecstatic to see Balor; throughout the night, they had been chanting “We want Balor,” especially during the opening segment with Roman Reigns. Later, when Paul Heyman was discussing who Brock Lesnar should feud with next, the crowd chanted “Finn!”
Some fans had speculated that Finn Balor might immediately go after the Universal Championship title, since he never lost it. It does not appear that this will happen right away, as tonight on Raw, Braun Strowman initiated a feud with the current Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
