Finn Balor arrives for World Heavyweight Championship match with only one Judgment Day member
WWE Superstar Finn Balor arrived at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for Saturday Night's Main Event with only one member of The Judgment Day by his side. Gunther is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest and Balor at the event tonight.
Damian Priest challenged Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames last month, but Balor got involved and prevented his former Judgment Day stablemate from winning the title. Ahead of the Triple Threat Match tonight, the former Universal Champion arrived at Saturday Night's Main Event with only JD McDonagh with him.

The 43-year-old and JD McDonagh are the reigning World Tag Team Champions. The duo have barely defended the titles since capturing them in June but will be putting them on the line on the upcoming Monday's edition of WWE RAW against The War Raiders.
Erik and Ivar won a tournament to earn a title shot last month but lost to The Judgment Day on the November 25 episode of the red brand.
Former WWE writer criticizes Finn Balor
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently took Finn Balor to task and claimed that he didn't believe the former Universal Champion could beat anyone in the main event picture.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, the former head writer of WWE stated that he didn't think Balor could beat anybody. He compared the RAW Superstar to Sami Zayn and noted that all of Balor's mean faces would never change his mind.
"I guess they're trying to build Gunther, Finn Balor, and Damian Priest. Maybe some people disagree with me, I don't think Balor can beat anybody. Finn to me is in that Sami Zayn category. He can snarl all he wants to, give me all the mean faces he wants. I don't believe Balor can beat anybody," said Russo. [24:10 onwards]

Balor interfered in Damian Priest's match against Gunther at SummerSlam also and cost The Archer of Infamy the World Heavyweight Championship. It will be fascinating to see which star walks out of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event as the World Champion.
