    Things are going to get both interesting and messy when it comes to spoiler talk as NXT is taping two months in advance.
    They are taping Balor vs Owens TONIGHT. So they ARE bombing through all the potential NXT dream matches and likely calling him up after Wrestlemania. Unless he wins the belt. :P

    Right so it looks like he hasn't won the belt

    Long-term it's probably more of a poisoned chalice if anything. The belt means nothing towards his eventual call-up, so the sooner he comes up the better. Let's just hope Vince has the same vision for him as HHH.

    Yeah looks like Balor and Neville are being called up while Zayn and Owens feud all year in NXT. I expect Balor to wrestle on one more NXT taping as they shot a Balor-Breeze angle.

    Could see Balor & Neville go on the UK tour in April then, surely the most logical step. Last year had Neville-Zayn

    Can't see him being called up in the usual post mania spot as
    the title match took place on the show scheduled for 8/4/2015 - few weeks after mania.
    and then as Rovert said
    he has to have a match with Breeze after that.

    There's usually an over-lap of a call-up and staying on NXT for a short-time. Paige did it, as did Bo Dallas, the Ascension, Shield, Wyatts.

    So we're gonna have an epic entrance to close out the post-Mania RAW.

    Awesome. I wonder who he'll interupt? Bray Wyatt maybe?

    He could appear on WWE TV via vignettes first. While Neville is the guy who physically debuts the night after Wrestlemania.

    I would much prefer if they did it that way - make him out to be a massively big deal!

    Please please dont have him do vignettes first - just have him come out! I know they want to build up things but you cant beat the element of surprise!! Will he always have the body paint on in the main roster do we think?? If he is keeping it for PPV's then i would imagine his first appearance would just be normal Finn :D

    Do we have to spoiler tag stuff in here given it has spoilers in the thread title? :D

    Probably safe as they are spoilers for something that hasn't aired yet - I think the spoiler tag is for previous episodes (as in actually aired on the network)

    I think he needs a bit more work on reacting because he didn't seem to react at all to the interruption of his interview this week

    I saw this report online and we can only hope that it is all true!
    Finn Balor’s push towards the NXT main event picture comes because WWE officials are very high up on him. Not only is Triple H firmly behind the former Prince Devitt, but he has the support of Vince McMahon as well as Vince is a big fan.
    There’s some concern within WWE over how Balor’s gimmick will translate to the main roster but he does have a lot of momentum.
    It’s worth noting that before signing with WWE, Balor wanted, and was given, assurances that he wouldn’t have to work a lengthy stint in developmental. Balor wants to be on WWE’s main roster and is expected to be brought up sooner than most talents are.

    Just used my Network voucher to order my first Finn Balor shirt :D
    Worked out at about €20 after P&P (which was as much as the shirt :mad:).
    Excite.

    Yeah, but still, you'd of had to pay that anyway right?

    Yeah. Without the voucher, the shirt would have been 40-50€ anyway, so I'll be more than happy with it at €20 overall :D

    Where did you get your Balor t-shirt? The smallest one they have on WWE Euroshop is 3XL.

    It was posted on his Instagram. Devitt like a lot of others reposts fan art but fan shoes is a new one.
