He's 42, he can do some more years. These days wrestlers can get into their 50s like Jericho and keep going.
I wanna see another Balor world title run though, like a legit one. No statistics, just a legit one. I don't know how it can happen but let us see it.

Of course he was sticking around as long as he got a decent offer.
He's a Triple H guy, he's 42 and a WWE style lets him wrestle easier than other promotions, he's got a family, he's constantly used in a feature role (we may not like that he's not World Champion, but he's always on the show getting good time), and he's in a group with some of his best friends.
Probably has been told that when he retires there's a PC coach or producer/agent job lined up for him.

Good news. He’s still in phenomenal shape & takes good care of himself. Hopefully he can wrestle for many years to come. It really seems like him & his Judgement Day buddies have a blast with each other both inside & outside of the ring.

No statistics, just a legit one. I don't know how it can happen but let us see it. I mean the crowd are basically invested in what ever he's doing... and never really haven't been. Honestly, turning all the Judgment Day face (save maybe Dom) wouldn't be that hard. He also was one of HHH's like first choice to build a brand around.

I thought Dom would branch off after WM but I guess not but I do see there being some sort of transition for Dom. Like for him it feels like they're trying to level him up compared to prior to where he was a super shit heel.
Finn, no matter if he's a face or a heel, he can go with whatever. Hell for all we know he and Priest will get into it after Priest loses the belt.

Man….if Damien still has the title if Balor wins MITB, the drama between both would be must-see

I want KO to win the wwe championship as well I think KO will get one too. He's still good. I read that his contract expires late 2024 so if he stays? He'll get one.

I'm happy he's sticking around, but also kinda bummed because the wrestling scene outside of WWE is so rich that he could have dream match after dream match after dream match in almost any major company.
Hell he could go back to New Japan and rule the roost there eeeeeasy.
That being said, he's always been my dude, and he will always be one of the bigger what if's in wrestling for me (what if he hadn't gotten hurt in that Rollins match) because he could have been the face of the company all these years.
I hope HHH has a plan for him, because he's always been 'his guy', but I'm ready for him to be a main event guy again before his best years are behind him.

Somewhere New Japan just shed a tear while EVIL pat their shoulder and said "You still have House of Torture... YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE HOUSE OF TORTURE!"

Good to see Finn is sticking around, I do like the guy and I enjoy most of his wrestling matches.

He’s mentored so many of the Irish and British wrestlers to make it across the Atlantic and is very much the “dad” of Judgement Day giving advice to the younger members that I’m sure they have a big backstage role for him when he decides to take a step back from the ring.

Didn't really see why he wouldn't. He's been one of their most heavily featured guys since he came back from NXT.
