5 Things that prove WWE wants Finn Balor to be the next Universal Champion
Is WWE actually willing to do it?
While the idea of Finn Balor being anywhere near The Universal Title picture during WrestleMania season sounded preposterous months ago, it doesn't seem that far fetched anymore. In fact, with the things WWE has been doing with him the last couple of weeks, it seems like they might actually be willing to pull the trigger on this.
Whether it happens at the Royal Rumble or not remains to be seen and will probably depend on what WWE's actual plan is here, but there are definitely a lot of signs pointing to Finn Balor being the next Universal champion. With that being said and the Royal Rumble dream match only weeks away, here are five of the signs fans should be most interested in.
What are your thoughts? Do you think Balor will be the next Universal champion or does WWE just want to excite the fan base and then do something else at WrestleMania 34? Let us know in the comments below!
#5 Lack of better options
One of the biggest signs that WWE wants Finn Balor to be the next Universal champion is the fact that there aren't many other options right now. Braun Strowman was removed from the title picture due to unknown reasons, Seth Rollins is still finishing up his program with Dean Ambrose, and Drew McIntyre isn't exactly ready yet either, which only leaves Balor.
In all honesty, the only person that would be better for the job than Balor is Seth Rollins, but it seems like WWE wants to save him for the Royal Rumble match and have him get to WrestleMania 35 that way. Whether all these moving parts will result in Rollins versus Balor for the Universal Title at WrestleMania 35 remains to be seen, but it seems like that's where things are going.
