Finn Balor Makes WWE RAW Return
Finn Balor made his long-awaited return to WWE TV on tonight’s post-WrestleMania 33 RAW from Orlando. Balor returned to the ring in mid-March and had been working WWE live events since then. He had been out of action since SummerSlam 2016 with a shoulder injury.
After Samoa Joe and WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens attacked Chris Jericho before Jericho was set to team with Seth Rollins on tonight’s RAW, new RAW General Manager Kurt Angle promised to find a partner for Rollins. That partner ended up being Balor. He and Rollins defeated Owens and Joe in the RAW main event, which saw Balor hit Coup de Grace and get the pin on Owens.

Jim Ross Reveals How Long He’s Signed With WWE For, Talks WrestleMania 33 Appearance
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke with FOX Sports after making his WWE return at WrestleMania 33 last night to call Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker. Ross confirmed that he has signed with WWE for 2 years. Ross commented on the return and how his late wife Jan wanted to be there:
“I’m not going to tell you that I didn’t have those bald eagle-sized butterflies, but that’s to be expected. To be on the card at WrestleMania is not a right. It’s really, indeed, a privilege, and I was very happy that WWE reached out and wanted to, as they say, in their own words, bring me home. That conversation began months ago, and my wife was so excited about the prospects and about the potential of us coming to WrestleMania. She wanted to get dressed up and walk the red carpet at the Hall of Fame, and she wanted to hear me get introduced and to see my walk out and call a match. That was her dream, and I shared that dream, which is one of the reasons I was so willing to come here.”
Ross also commented on the new deal, which was just signed on Friday:
“It has a specific number of dates that I’m obligated to work, which I think is good for me. So look at it this way: I got my jersey back. I got brought back to my home team, and my opportunities back in WWE, I’m sure, will be multi-fold. They’ve got a lot of things that I can contribute (to), and I’ve been so blessed in the business that I’ve done so many different things. I’ve been an administrator and a syndicator, a marketing rep, a VP of broadcasting, a head of talent relations. But the fun part is what I did tonight.
“I hope to have more ‘fun part’ assignments in the future, but I’ve got my jersey back. So if the team needs me to play, to work more than they anticipated because they need it, I’m in.”
Ross also discussed the passing of his wife Jan, his “Ringside” shows and more in the full interview.

Interesting Hardy WrestleMania Facts.
Wrestling Inc. reader Jesse Ruiz noted that with The Hardys returning to WWE and winning the RAW Tag Team Championship, Jeff Hardy earned his first ever victory at Wrestlemania. Hardy had been 0-5 at the event before Sunday.
The victory was also the The Hardy Boyz first victory as a team at Wrestlemania, and it was their first tag team match at Wrestlemania that didn’t involve the Dudleyz. It was also their first involvement in a match at Wrestlemania involving ladders (TLC and Ladder match; including Money in the Bank) that didn’t involve Edge or Christian.
– Speaking of the Hardys, the YouTube video of their return above already has more than 4 million views.
