Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reported this week that Finn Balor was recently granted some time off from WWE. The report suggests that Balor will be taking two months off from the company.
On this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Balor was attacked by Bray Wyatt. This was the official debut of Bray’s new character, which has been teased for months now.
After this segment, many fans have assumed that Balor vs Wyatt could be happening at Summerslam. That might not be the case.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that Balor has traveled back to his home country of Ireland.
This seems to be a hint that Balor is taking his two months off now, instead of after Summerslam. This could mean the attack from Wyatt was meant to write him off WWE television, not to set up a Summerslam match.
We will have to wait and see on this one. Balor being back in Ireland has me thinking that he is taking time off now though.
