Im getting some serious feelings of dj vu, but word coming out of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is that Finn Balors much-anticipated call-up to the main roster could very well be imminent.

Balor lost his rematch for the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe at TakeOver: The End, and despite a potential forthcoming dream match with Shinsuke Nakamura, he has been expected to turn up on RAW or SmackDown for a while now.

There is talk however that his debut could be held off until the WWE Draft in July. WWE will want to make that as newsworthy as possible, and Balor is arguably the biggest name in the best position to make the jump from NXT to the main roster.

Speaking of newsworthy, this Sundays Money in the Bank PPV is expected to be one of the biggest shows of the year. The card is stacked to say the least, with two WrestleMania-caliber main events in the shape of Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and AJ Styles vs. John Cena, as well as one of the most intriguing Money in the Bank ladder matches in recent memory.

Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Neville are also due to return to the company at any point, but there is no word as of yet as to whether one or more could return on Sunday. Being Money in the Bank, the safe money would be on the lights going out and Bray Wyatt stopping someone from grabbing the briefcase.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
