Finn Balor re-signs with WWE. (Patreon)

WWE is retaining a big name and a former Universal Champion.

Finn Balor posted on X Monday, "I would like to take this moment to say thank you to WWE for 10 incredible years. And after much thought and consideration , I have decided that now is the right time to say ‘I ain’t going nowhere!"

Fightful had heard Monday that Balor was staying with WWE, and was signing a long-term contract extension with the company. Balor's deal was set to be up within the next couple of months.

We're told that WWE was looking to sign Balor to a multi-year, big money offer. It was expected that he would have major interest outside of the company, and that specifically AEW is looking to sign potential free agents this Summer. His name was on their list of talent they were keeping an eye on.
