• Finn Balor Reveals Why He Missed Royal Rumble 2022

Finn Balor missed the Royal Rumble 2022 premium live event in January and fans were questioning why he wasn’t booked in the Men’s Rumble.

Balor was off WWE programming from January 17 to February 21. He explained his absence during an interview with BT Sport.

Below is what the current United States Champion said:

“I didn’t want to take any time off. I didn’t want to miss any shows. I didn’t need any time off. I wasn’t injured. I didn’t need a rest.

Legally, my Visa needed to be renewed and I needed to go home to Ireland and go to the US Embassy to get a new Visa. And that’s why I wasn’t at the Royal Rumble and that’s why I wasn’t there for a month. Everyone’s asking questions, ‘Finn’s not here, Finn’s not there.’

It was strictly a legal paperwork issue that had to be rectified. It had kind of been pushed and pushed, and pushed on through COVID because we couldn’t travel, and it was…a window opened up and we said, ‘Look, we are going to have to do it eventually, let’s just do it now.

The time off was taken reluctantly in January to take care of that paperwork but thank God it’s all taken care of now for the next 10 years.”
