#1 Hope is true: Finn Balor back to NXT for good

He's back!
He's back!

With All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite debuting on Wednesday Night, NXT went head-to-head with them and made a huge impact with a massive show. The big talk, of course, was the fact that Finn Balor returned to NXT after over three years away.

Balor is one of the biggest names in NXT history and he still remains the longest-reigning champion in the brand's history, clocking in at 292 days. If that feat wasn't impressive enough, imagine what he can do now that he's back.

The landscape of NXT, of course, has changed drastically since he has gone. Many superstars have come and gone and now one of the former faces of NXT is back. And from the look of things, he may be working a far more favorable schedule.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Balor will be part of NXT full-time now, and will not be appearing on RAW or SmackDown. He also added that there will likely be no alterations to Balor's current contract. Balor will reportedly continue to get paid as a main roster Superstar while working a lighter schedule for NXT.

We really hope this isn't true because Balor can not only shine in NXT, but the fact that he's getting the same money for a lighter schedule without the travel is incredible!
