5 Main roster opponents for Finn Balor at Survivor Series
Finn Balor’s move to NXT surprised many hardcore wrestling fans, but it has been seen as a positive in the eyes of most. Finn Balor's transition to the Black & Gold Brand has enabled NXT to get more eyes on the product and introduced exciting new rivalries as well.
Balor was an integral part of NXT during his first stint on the Black & Gold Brand and won the NXT Championship in July 2015. Since then, wrestling fans have seen Balor perform on all three brands where he made a huge name for himself.
Now that Balor is back in NXT and playing a villainous character, we could see him pick a fight with one of the babyfaces from the RAW or SmackDown brand in time for this year's triple branded Survivor Series.
There are some Superstars Balor has faced in the past who could battle the former Universal Champion once again at Survivor Series. Still, there are others who we’d love to see battle Balor in a WWE ring for the very first time.
In this article, we take a look at five main roster Superstars who could face Finn Balor at this year’s Survivor Series.
#5 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins has continuously been one of WWE’s top Superstars and has managed to win every single men’s Championship in the WWE.
The former Universal Champion narrowly missed becoming the inaugural Universal Champion when he was defeated by 'The Demon' Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2016. Instead, it was Balor who stood victorious and garnered the honor of being WWE's very first Universal Champion. Since then, we’ve seen these two men battle in epic matches, giving fans fantastic moments.
With Rollins losing the Universal Championship recently to The Fiend, a SmackDown Superstar, we could see him out of the title picture for quite some time. 'The Architect' could be given more time to develop new storylines.
Balor could take a jab at Rollins and his Crown Jewel failure against The Fiend. This is despite the fact that Balor also lost to The Fiend at SummerSlam. Balor could even use Rollins’ Irish fiance, Becky Lynch, against him in order to bring the best out of Rollins just in time for a marquee matchup at Survivor Series.
A match between these two top Superstars would be a big draw, especially since they now belong to two completely separate brands. For all we know, Balor could defeat Rollins again and prove to be the tipping point in Rollins' anticipated heel turn.
