WWE signed Balor in 2014 as he had massive popularity in Japan. He was one of the biggest stars in the county where he wrested several years. He attained plenty of success in NXT, and he was the longest reigning NXT Champion. In fact, he held the title for 292 days.

#2 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is the current Intercontinental Champion, and he could be a great opponent for Balor. As a matter of fact, Balor and Lashley had a segment on Raw where Lashley assaulted the former Universal champion. The segment suggests that Balor could be the next opponent of Lashley.
Lashley returned to WWE last year. He was expected to get a good run after a notable success in his MMA career. Nevertheless, his run has been substandard, as he has had some small feuds. Though he defeated Roman Reigns, he did not have any significant achievement after pinning the Big Dog.

Balor could have a long feud with Lashley, and they are capable of stealing the show at WrestleMania 35. Balor has a bright possibility to win maiden Intercontinental title if the rivalry continues till Wrestlemania

Moreover, Bryan and Balor are physically similar, and they are stupendous performers in the squared circle. They are competent of offering an exceptional match at WrestleMania 35.
