• Finn Bálor’s WWE Status Has Seemingly Changed

Finn Bálor appears to have quietly switched brands ahead of this year’s King of the Ring tournament. On the Clash in Italy post show, WWE announced four Fatal 4-Way matches that will kick off the tournament, with each match featuring two RAW stars and two SmackDown stars.

Bálor is scheduled to face Royce Keys, LA Knight and Jey Uso in one of the opening round matches. WWE’s graphic shows Bálor and Keys as SmackDown stars, while Knight and Uso are representing RAW.

If the listing is accurate, it would mark Bálor’s first brand change in nearly five years.

The former Universal Champion was drafted from SmackDown to RAW during WWE’s 2021 Draft and has remained on the red brand ever since.

As of this writing, WWE has not officially announced Bálor’s move, but tournament promotional material suggests that he is now considered part of the SmackDown roster.

The first-ever edition of WWE Clash in Italy is currently underway from the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. During the second match of the show, Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill to retain the WWE Women’s Championship.

Immediately after Ripley scored the pinfall victory, two fans appeared to get into a confrontation in the front row. A fan wearing a black shirt was seen aggressively shoving a fan in a yellow shirt, while a WWE security staff member quickly stepped in to intervene.
