In a world of fleeting loyalties and jump-ship tactics, former Universal Champion Finn Balor has officially declared that he’s as permanent in WWE as the tattoos on his body! Posting on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter), just before gracing us with his presence on “WWE Raw,” Balor decided to drop a ten-year anniversary bombshell. He’s not just sticking around; he’s sticking like glue, folks!
“Thank you, WWE, for the rollercoaster of a decade,” he might as well have added a wink and a nod with his tweet. “And after much thought and consideration, I have decided that now is the right time to say, ‘I ain’t going nowhere!’” Talk about a cliffhanger ending with a plot twist!
According to the wrestling world’s favorite scoop-hunters, Fightful Select, this isn’t just idle chat. They’ve whispered that Balor has either already penned his name on the dotted line or is about to. Can you imagine the sighs of relief echoing through the WWE offices? No way were they letting their first-ever Universal Champion, even if he was champ for just a day, get snatched up by those AEW pirates.
The deal, reportedly a “big money offer” that would make Scrooge McDuck balk, comes just in the nick of time. With his contract set to run out faster than an ice cream in the sun post-WrestleMania 40, WWE pulled out all the stops. It seems Balor and his devilish grin are here to stay, continuing to haunt The Judgment Day and anyone else who dares to step in the ring with him.
So, for all you Balor Club fans, throw away those tissues and cancel the goodbye parties. The prince of WWE isn’t abdicating his throne anytime soon. As for AEW? Better luck next time, folks! Balor’s heart belongs to WWE, and that’s the bottom line because—well, he said so!
