Finn Balor made a surprise return on the most recent episode of NXT and declared to the world that he is well and truly back at the Full Sail University.

However, what's the status on Balor possibly appearing on RAW and SmackDown as well? Dave Meltzer had an update regarding the former Universal Champion's current role and plans on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer stated that Balor is now a full-time member of the NXT roster and that he will not be featured on RAW and SmackDown. It was also said that Balor will work a lighter schedule for the Yellow Brand and will still get paid like a main roster Superstar, which would be four times more than any normal NXT Superstar. Now that's a sweet deal, isn't it?

Balor also opened up about his shocking comeback in an interview with Newsweek and revealed the reason behind his unlikely decision.

"I've been out of the ring for about two months and out of NXT for much longer. To get the opportunity to return to Full Sail live on USA is a huge honor for me. Right now that's what it means. I'm going to wrestle whenever, whoever I want. That's something I've been chasing for quite some time in my career.I don't believe in any boundaries be it weight class, country, promotion... And I want to break those boundaries. I'm here at NXT to do that."

Expect a highly motivated Demon King to show up on all the different shows that come under the umbrella of NXT soon.
