Finn Balor has been cleared to return and has been wrestling at WWE house shows for a couple of weeks now, leading to speculation that he’ll be back any day now. However, he is not expected to be at Raw tonight, according to PWInsider, and with only one more Raw to go next week before WrestleMania, it seems increasingly unlikely that WWE plans to have him return before WrestleMania.
The card is really crowded as it is, so it seems like we’ll have to wait until after WrestleMania for Balor’s return to TV.
