Finn Balor has been missing from WWE programming since tearing his labrum, pectoral muscle and bicep at the beginning of a match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam - which he won - but after months of recovery, Balor is making a comeback just in time for WrestleMania 33.

Balor wrestled in a six-man tag match alongside Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho against Triple H, Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens.

The match ended with Chris Jericho hitting a Codebreaker on Owens to score the pinfall win.

With Balor back to full health, it's only a matter of time before he re-appears on Monday Night Raw - but with a Universal Championship match already set for WrestleMania 33 and most of the Raw roster occupied with their own ongoing feuds, it's anyone's guess as to how (or if) WWE will utilize Balor in the biggest show of the year.

Meanwhile, in NXT, Hideo Itami made a return to the ring after suffering a neck injury last October.
