Last night, immediately after KO’s win, former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor, who has a history with Kevin Owens at NXT where they fought over the NXT title, congratulated the new champ.

This morning, Kevin Owens responded to Balor.

Heel Kevin Owens vs. baby-face Finn Balor at Wrestlemania 33 sure has a nice ring to it; Balor should be back from his post-surgery injury rehab in 6 months which puts his return in / around February 2017 with 2017’s Wrestlemania on April 2, 2017. Any feud with Seth Rollins for Finn Balor and his Demon King alter ego will have to wait provided their both still faces heading into 2017 Wrestlemania 33.
