While his in-ring career ended long ago, he's still well-thought-of as an innovative athlete who changed everything about how the company did things.

"I'm so proud of this MAN, he has spent all his life in sports, Wrestling being his longest journey. He has taught, inspired, mentored, coached and been a friend and roll model to countless kids! He has received his MBE He's my Dad I'm so proud of him! Love you Dad, my hero!!!" Fit wrote.

Finlay is in WWE currently
Fit Finlay was among the many furloughed employees during the pandemic budget cuts. Although he was not a regular during shows at the time, he eventually was rehired as an assistant coach and trainer for the Performance Center.
He returned in November of the same year, so he didn't spend much time away from the company.
It remains to be seen if he makes any more on-screen appearances.
