His return is imminent, but it won’t be on Sunday night

By most reports, Finn Balor may not even be fully healed yet. In interviews, he has stated for a while that he isn’t going to necessarily be ready and 100% by the time the Royal Rumble came around, but would gladly enter if Vince McMahon wanted him in it.
On social media and in other appearances he’s been very back-and-forth, sometimes seeming to allude to being ready for the Rumble match, and sometimes making it look like there’s no chance at all that he will be running down that aisle on Sunday night.

It’s tough to make a really strong point on either side of the argument as to whether or not he’s going to show up, but I personally don’t think we’re going to see Finn Balor show up in the Royal Rumble match. That is, unless, he’s going to win it. If he’s in, he wins.
If they aren’t going to have him win the match, then he isn’t going to be in it. Simple as that, in my book.
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
