5 very likely options for Finn Balor at Royal Rumble 2018

Finn Balor has been in storyline purgatory for awhile now, and while his matches are always enthralling to watch, WWE continues to not give him any momentum heading into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. In fact, he still doesn't have many prospects for an opponent at the Rumble, and with the exception of one match, he doesn't have many great options either.

With that being said and one of the biggest pay-per-views of the year fast approaching, here are five opponents for Finn Balor at the Royal Rumble.

Unfortunately for Balor Club fans, it probably won't exactly be the Universal title match they had wanted for so long, but it could still give him a lot of momentum heading into WrestleMania season.

#5 Woken Matt Hardy

This selection is based on the assumption that Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy have ended their feud before the Royal Rumble and while WWE could certainly extend that if they want to. They could also give Hardy a win or two over Wyatt in December and then have him go on to face The Demon King.

Of course, Balor would probably end up taking the loss in this matchup, but it would be a cool way to give Balor and Hardy a placeholder until WWE can find something else for them. Not only that, it also pits two of the biggest fan bases in all of WWE against each other for a feud that would probably disappoint no one by the end of it.
