Finn Balor gives himself a new nickname ahead of Saturday Night's Main Event; makes a major prediction
Finn Balor believes he will walk out of Saturday Night's Main Event as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. On Instagram, he gave himself a new nickname ahead of his Triple Threat Match against Gunther and Damian Priest.
Balor earned himself the title shot after ambushing Gunther on a recent edition of Monday Night RAW. He previously cost Priest his chance to regain the title at the Survivor Series Premium Live Event. The Archer of Infamy lost the title at SummerSlam, courtesy of his former tag team partner.
On Instagram, Balor posted a photo of him holding the World Heavyweight Championship and the World Tag Team Championship. He sent a three-word message.
"Fortune Teller Finn," Balor wrote.

Kevin Owens is rooting for Finn Balor to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Kevin Owens and Finn Balor will compete in marquee matches at Saturday Night's Main Event. Owens will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship and Balor will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat Match.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Owens said he was rooting for Balor to walk out as the new champion. He said:
"Forget me," Owens said. "Finn got the short end of the stick more than anyone because he won the Universal Title, then never even had the chance to show what he could do with it. And then, you know, after that you can count on one hand probably the number titles matches he's had and stuff. So, yeah, I would love to see him walk out with that title."
Owens and Balor have previously crossed paths during their days in NXT. In 2015, Balor defeated Owens to win the NXT Championship at The Beast in the East event in Japan.
Balor was partly responsible for Gunther winning the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam when The Judgment Day member betrayed Damian Priest.
