Finn Balor was injured at Summerslam in his match against Seth Rollins. Balor won the WWE Universal Title but was forced to vacate the belt the next night after tearing his labrum. He went in for immediate surgery and has been on the road to recovery ever since. We have a Finn Balor return update.

Balor was recently a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. During the interview he spoke about his injury, his recovery and when fans should expect a Finn Balor return to WWE television.

It was noted that Balor was out of his sling for the interview.

He says that he is aiming for Wrestlemania. There is talk about maybe a bit before but the hard target for him is returning before Wrestlemania 33 in April.

He is doing 6 hours of rehab every day. 3 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon in order to return to the ring as soon as possible.

This doesn’t rule Balor out for a potential return at the 2017 Royal Rumble. It will all depend on how recovery goes. It seems like he is working very hard to get back and I am optimistic after hearing him that he will be back in time for Wrestlemania season. Maybe he is throwing out Wrestlemania as a way to surprise fans when he returns sooner?

Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

When would you like to see him return? Who would you like him to face at Wrestlemania?
