When will we see the former Intercontinental Champion again?

It looks like Finn Balor could be set to return to WWE very, very soon.

This comes from WWE's recently-updated tour lineups for their upcoming live events in Australia. Taking place from 21 October to 23 October, the shows currently have Balor to face Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, who took the belt from the Irishman on the Extreme Rules 2019 Kickoff Show.

Of course, the usual "card is subject to change" asterisk applies here. There's no word on when Balor will return on television either, though it's probably safe to assume it'll be sometime after the 11/14 October Draft.

It was reported prior to SummerSlam 2019 (11 August) that Balor was set to take roughly two months off from WWE. Returning as part of the Australian tour would coincide with this nicely, as Finn hasn't been seen since falling victim to Bray Wyatt's Fiend gimmick at 'The Biggest Party of the Summer.'

Also scheduled for WWE's Australian tour are a number of exciting singles matches, including Kevin Owens vs. Daniel Bryan, Buddy Murphy vs. Andrade, and Aleister Black vs. Sami Zayn. Let's see if any make it to television.
