5 Reasons why Finn Balor should become the next Universal Champion
The extraordinary man who does extraordinary things has been lost in the mix ever since he made his return to the WWE after relinquishing the WWE Universal Championship due to a shoulder injury. The WWE Universe expected the Irishman to recapture the title within a few months when he returned. However, he has been shockingly discarded as a top-tier Superstar and has been relegated to the midcard of the flagship show. Balor has failed to win even a single championship despite being consistent inside the ring.
He has had multiple Intercontinental Championship matches and also has had a match for the Universal Championship but never has he been able to win when it matters the most. He has had meaningless feuds with Elias, Bray Wyatt and Baron Corbin which did no good to either of the Superstars involved.
Now with Braun Strowman potentially ruled out of the Universal Title picture due to an untimely injury, it seems like Brock Lesnar will have a new challenger for the coveted prize at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Here are five reasons why Finn Balor should be that next challenger and should dethrone The Beast as the Universal Champion.
#1 RAW needs a Universal Champion who shows up every week
Well, the first and foremost reason why Finn Balor should dethrone Lesnar is that the WWE Universe deserves a champion who shows up every week, unlike the reigning champion who appears once in 1 or 2 months.
Even after he won the title at Crown Jewel, he was not present on RAW until the go-home show of WWE Survivor Series. WWE have to do away with its policy of having part-time champions since it creates dissatisfaction amongst the hard-working superstars in the locker room.
