A pair of WWE stars will be making a “massive announcement” on Friday, August 7 during an appearance on a popular radio show.

This Saturday, August 8, WWE’s Finn Balor and Becky Lynch will be in attendance at Dublin, Ireland’s 3Arena for Zuffa Boxing 10, which is headlined by a World Middleweight Title fight between home favorite Aaron McKenna and Etinosa Oliha.

While Balor and Lynch are in town for the big event on Saturday, it has now also been confirmed that the pair will be stopping by for an appearance on Dublin based sports radio show Off The Ball on Friday.

As revealed by a post shared by the Off The Ball Instagram page, Balor and Lynch will not only be appearing, but they will also be making a “massive announcement” whilst on the broadcast.

Off The Ball’s post reads as follows:

🚨𝐎𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘’𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋! 🚨

@WWE Superstars @BeckyLynchWWE and @FinnBalor will be live in studio for a massive announcement! You don’t want to miss this! | #WWE

Tune in from 7pm to @NewstalkFM! | 📻

It’s not yet clear what this “massive announcement” will be in regards to, but speculation is already abound among Irish fans, with the prevailing hope among those commenting on social media being that WWE could be set to announce its first-ever Irish-based premium live event.

We will provide further updates on Balor and Lynch’s announcement as news becomes available.

Dublin PLE A No Brainer Announcement For WWE

One of the hallmarks of WWE under Nick Khan and Triple H’s leadership has been their willingness to branch out into international markets for major premium live events.

As well as the expected yearly Saudi Arabia shows, WWE has, in recent years, visited the likes of Berlin, Paris, Glasgow, London and Turin, with four of those five not before hosting major events before they did between 2024-2026.

While Lynch and Balor’s announcement could be unrelated to a WWE PLE, the company would surely know that expectations for an Ireland PLE will be raised by this tease of a “massive announcement.”

Although WWE recently lost its veteran Irish presence in the locker room: Sheamus, the roster still ha san abundance of talent from the island, including the aforementioned Becky Lynch and Finn Balor, as well as JD McDonagh and Lyra Valkyria.

Whether it be another “Clash” themed PLE or an entirely new event, Irish fans will be eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s news in the hopes that WWE deliver.
