Finn Balor Makes Return On NXT
Finn Balor is back on NXT.
The former Universal and NXT Champion made his return to Full Sail University immediately after Adam Cole successfully retained his NXT Championship in a match against Matt Riddle. Sporting a new hairstyle, Balor approached the ring and had seven words to say to both Cole and the crowd at Full Sail.
“As of now, Finn Balor is NXT,” Balor said.

Balor was last seen on WWE programming in early August when he was beaten by “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam. Balor first made his WWE debut on NXT in 2014, later winning the NXT Championship and holding it for nearly 300 days, recognized as the longest reign in NXT history. Balor had also won the Dusty Rhodes Classic in 2015 alongside Samoa Joe.
