There has been growing speculation surrounding the status of former Universal Champion Finn Balor in WWE. Following his loss to Damian Priest on Raw, Balor has seemed noticeably deflated and withdrawn. He was absent from both this week’s and last week’s Raw episodes, fueling further uncertainty. Adding to the intrigue, Balor recently posted a cryptic message on social media, hinting at a potential breakup.
Taking to X, The Prince posted a simple yet cryptic message: “DOM.” This has led to widespread speculation that it could be a reference to Dominik Mysterio, who filled in for Balor during The Judgment Day‘s match against The War Raiders on Raw. Despite his current absence, it seems Balor may still be focused on his faction, hinting at a potential shift in dynamics within The Judgment Day.

It seems that ‘Dirty’ Dom stepping in as a replacement has left Balor frustrated. As the alleged leader of The Judgment Day, Balor may be seeking answers from Mysterio after their failed attempt to secure the World Tag Team Titles on Raw. The loss not only cost The Judgment Day a major opportunity, but it also saw core member JD McDonagh suffer a significant injury, all under Dominik Mysterio’s watch.

This angle could set the stage for a feud between Balor and Mysterio on Raw. Additionally, The Judgment Day appears to be growing fragmented, with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez pursuing their own paths. A conflict between Balor and Mysterio could ignite a faction civil war, leading to the eventual implosion of The Judgment Day, a storyline that has been eagerly anticipated.
Finn Balor to embark on a singles path in 2025?
Finn Balor has been enduring a rough patch in his career as of late. After facing multiple losses in the last few months, his momentum has been derailed. Therefore, fans wonder if WWE would have some plans for The Prince or not in the future. However, there were reports that WWE is planning a sustainable push for the 43-year-old in 2025.
Triple H could separate Balor from The Judgment Day in an effort to revitalize his character, which has felt stagnant following a lackluster run in WWE. To breathe new life into The Prince, WWE might introduce a character shift, perhaps drawing inspiration from his 2020 NXT persona. These subtle changes could set the stage for a potential singles run for Balor down the line, offering him a fresh direction in the company.
A singles run could give the 43-year-old Balor the chance to re-enter the World Title picture as a credible contender. It would also open the door for dream feuds with top stars like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre. This shift in direction would bring a renewed sense of excitement to Balor’s WWE journey. Ultimately, it will be intriguing to see how The Prince’s future unfolds from here.
