5 Reasons why Finn Balor keeps losing on RAW
One of the most sensitive points of discussion over the past few months has been regarding the issue of Finn Balor losing way too many times on RAW.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
You and I both know, as do the vast majority of professional wrestling fans and experts, that Balor is one of the most talented pro-wrestling performers on the planet today!
In fact, Balor was one of the biggest stars in Japan, signing with NJPW in March of 2006, and working as one of the company's top stars until his run with them came to an end at NJPW's Invasion Attack PPV on April 6th, 2014.
Balor eventually signed with the WWE's NXT brand and went on to the NXT Championship after he beat then-champion Kevin Owens, at The Beast in the East event which took place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan, on July 4th, 2015.
Besides, after being promoted to the WWE's main roster, Balor faced Seth Rollins at SummerSlam (August 21st, 2016), and defeated Rollins to become the first-ever WWE Universal Champion.
Unfortunately, a shoulder injury forced Balor to vacate his Universal Title the very next day, on the August 22nd, 2016, an episode of Monday Night RAW -- And since that day, Balor has been on a shocking downward slide in the WWE!
The talented Irishman is at a strange crossroads in his WWE career, and as much as we all want him to succeed, apart from a rare win here and there, he keeps losing "clean" to anyone and everyone on RAW.
Today, we take a special look at why Balor has been booked in such an absurd manner, as we closely examine a few important aspects of his main roster run which started on his 35th birthday, on July 25th, 2016 (July 19th was when WWE first confirmed that he's been drafted to RAW, but he didn't appear on TV until July 25th)...
#5 The WWE roster is overpopulated
This may be one of the biggest reasons why many talented WWE Superstars get "buried" after being promoted from NXT to the main roster.
Honestly speaking, we cannot really blame the WWE or even the Superstar in question here, because it's an undeniable fact that the WWE's current roster is grossly overpopulated!
Needless to say, even some of the most talented performers in the company, such as Kevin Owens and Finn Balor (RAW), as well as names such as Andrade "Cien" Almas and Rusev (SmackDown) get lost in meaningless, random feuds because like every other television show, there is only a limited amount of TV time for WWE each week.
As a result they end up suffering terrible losing streaks, caused by poorly-booked random matches every now and then...
