Finn Bálor Confirmed for NXT Tour in June
This week's NXT episode has proven to be very interesting for Finn Bálor. The former longest-reigning NXT Champion in history, will return on next week's episode (which has already been recorded, of course), most likely to ask for a rematch for the championship, against the new champion, Samoa Joe.
In addition, this Wednesday's show served as a reminder to fans about the tour that NXT will be carrying out in June, a tour that will feature names such as Samoa Joe, Bayley, American Alpha.... and Finn Bálor.
What could the fact that Bálor is confirmed for this tour mean? Well, unless there's a surprise, we won't see him make the jump to the main roster until later in the summer.
Rumors place SummerSlam 2016 as the place where the "Demon" would make his debut in a match against none other than AJ Styles. But they are just rumors, and his debut has already been rumored about ten times this year.
Away from rumors, what is a fact is that the new season will begin with Finn Bálor still performing in the ranks of the Florida brand. The aforementioned tour will last 6 days and will visit various points in the United Kingdom. The first stop will be at the rock festival "Download Derby", which will be held in Northern England, at Donington Park from June 10 to 12.
