Finn Balor was defeated by The Fiend Bray Wyatt’s at SummerSlam and then he got some hiatus from WWE. When Finn Balor made a surprise return to NXT, Many fans assumed he’d reemerge on Raw or Smackdown, Then he returned to NXT, but that wasn’t the initial plan.
Dave Meltzer explained WWE’s original plan for Finn Balor’s return.
He said When Finn lost to Wyatt badly, the idea was he’d go on his sabbatical and switch to SmackDown on his return, but then when the ratings ended up going the way they did, he was moved to NXT with the idea that his star power could make more of a difference there.
Now Finn Balor is making main roster money but working in NXT. I think this is a good deal for him.
