6 Ways WWE is Currently Tricking Fans Into Giving Up On Finn Balor

Let's be honest here

While Finn Balor is one of the most entertaining superstars in all of WWE and proves it amazing match after amazing match, the company has seemingly refused to give him any sort of storyline direction. In fact, Balor has been stuck in the mid card for quite some time now and his current feud with Drew McIntyre doesn't seem like its going to go his way.

Beyond that, Balor has been booked so poorly that its almost impossible to see him as a legitimate threat in The Universal title scene ever again. Furthermore, when he does end up winning, its in the most screwy fashion imaginable, which illegitimates him no matter what he accomplishes

With that being said and things seemingly getting worse and worse as time goes on, it's becoming obvious that this is a ploy to slowly get fans to give up on Balor as a main event threat. In the end, here are six key things WWE is doing in order to make sure fans give up on Balor as a main event star.

Of course, that doesn't mean he won't be a crucial part of WWE for years to come and maybe even an underdog champion, but he will never be the guy. Not only is that evident by how sparsely he has been involved in the title scene since coming back from his shoulder injury, but also by what WWE has done with him since the injury.

#6 Keeping him off of pay per views

Finn Balor has been left off of a lot of pay per views lately.

Believe it or not, Finn Balor has not been on a pay per view since Summerslam. Keep in mind that includes Crown Jewel, Super Showdown and Hell in a Cell. Unfortunately for Balor, this disheartening fact about Balor comes after losing Universal title rematch against Roman Reigns, which put him on a downward spiral.

With that in mind, one of the key ways WWE is getting fans to give up on Balor is to not even feature him when it comes to pay per views. If nothing else, this allows WWE to keep halting Balor's momentum whenever he picks up a key win on Raw, and also gives the company more time to focus on the stars they want in the main event scene.
