Finn Bálor was absent from the final episode of Monday Night RAW before Royal Rumble 2025, with backstage reports placing him in New York. The former Universal Champion shared a photo on social media showing himself in a dental chair, explaining his absence from the broadcast.
Bálor’s last appearance on RAW came earlier this month in a Street Fight against Damian Priest. Following his defeat in that match, Priest, who has since moved to SmackDown, pushed Bálor down the ramp after he was being stretchered off by Adam Pearce and security officials.
The ongoing tensions between Bálor and Liv Morgan have raised questions about The Judgment Day’s stability on RAW. These concerns intensified after JD McDonagh sustained an injury during this week’s show. Balor’s status for the 30-man Royal Rumble match this Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis remains unclear.
