Finn Balor’s torn shoulder labrum was one of the most devastating injuries WWE has ever seen. After being pushed to the moon, he was forced to relinquish his Universal championship the night after winning it at SummerSlam.

It threw a colossal wrench into WWE’s plans and made everyone wonder when we would see the Demon King in the ring again. But the answer could be the Royal Rumble.

Balor has said that his goal was to return in time for WrestleMania, which is rapidly approaching. He also recently underwent tests to determine if he’s ready to return to in-ring competition, the results of which were not made public.

Maybe we’re looking too deeply into things, or maybe these signs actually point to a potential Rumble return for the former NXT champion.

If Balor does return, he will probably receive the biggest reaction of the night. He is one of the most popular superstars on the roster and if WWE keeps his potential return under wraps, the capacity crowd at the Alamodome could blow the roof off the place.

Balor would also have a legitimate chance of winning the entire thing. He figures to be a big part of WrestleMania no matter what, and the bridge to that could be through a Royal Rumble victory.
