Finn Balor made a huge return on WWE RAW this week. He teamed up with his former rival and NXT Superstar Tommaso Ciampa to take on Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.

Balor and Ciampa have a lot of history dating back to their days in the black and gold version of NXT. They were once bitter rivals, but they came together to deliver an entertaining match tonight.

Finn Balor was at his usual best, and he shared great chemistry with Tommaso Ciampa in the ring. The duo dominated their opponents in their tag team match that eventually ended with Ciampa pinning Roode for the victory on WWE RAW.

It was a good match that conveniently left room for Ziggler and Ciampa to continue their feud on NXT 2.0. The two superstars will face each other in a match to determine the next challenger for NXT Champion Bron Breakker.

Later in the night, Damian Priest defeated Shelton Benjamin in a singles match. Following that, he demanded to face a worthy WWE Superstar from the red brand, and it was Finn Balor answered the open challenge.

The two superstars will face each other for gold next week. Priest now has a huge challenge awaiting him, as Balor will look to win the US Championship for the first time and gain momentum on the road to WrestleMania.
