The 2026 Royal Rumble premium live event has left a lasting impact on the WWE universe, and no one was more affected than ‘The Demon’ Finn Balor. The 12-time world champion took to social media to express his outrage and disappointment after being left out of the highly anticipated Men’s Royal Rumble match. Balor’s reaction has sent shockwaves throughout the WWE community, and Ringside News has the latest on this developing story.
The Royal Rumble Snub
While the Men’s Royal Rumble match featured a wide range of top talent, including returning stars and surprise entrants, Finn Balor’s name was noticeably absent. The omission was all the more surprising given Balor’s impressive recent run, which saw him challenge for the WWE Championship at the 2026 Elimination Chamber event.
According to a WWE insider, Finn Balor’s snub was a result of a creative decision made by the WWE’s top brass. “Finn’s been doing some great work in recent months, but the writers felt that his inclusion in the match would have been too predictable. They wanted to shake things up and give fans something new,” the source revealed.
However, this explanation doesn’t seem to have sat well with Balor, who took to social media to express his frustration and disappointment. The ‘Demon King’ tweeted a cryptic message that has left fans speculating about his future in the WWE.
“The fire burns brighter than ever. You can’t keep a good man down. #TheDemonRises,” Balor wrote, accompanied by a fiery emoji.
Balor’s Social Media Meltdown
Finn Balor’s social media meltdown continued over the course of the night, with the WWE star posting a series of cryptic messages and images that seemed to hint at a major shift in his career.
One of the most telling posts was a picture of Balor sitting in the dark, surrounded by flames, with the caption “When the fire burns inside.” The image was followed by a series of tweets that seemed to suggest Balor was considering a major change in his career.
“Sometimes you gotta let the flames consume you. Sometimes you gotta let go of the past and forge a new path. #TheDemonRises,” Balor wrote in one of his tweets.
While the WWE universe is still trying to decipher the meaning behind Balor’s posts, one thing is clear: the ‘Demon King’ is not happy about being snubbed from the Royal Rumble match.
