WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Finn Balor Should Win

WWE.com

Finn Balor is still on the shelf due to injury. But if he’s well enough to return this month, he should win the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble.

Check your calendars folks. It’s about that time. Finn Balor was injured at SummerSlam a little over four months ago. The torn labrum he suffered against Seth Rollins came with an initial timetable of four to six months. But according to an interview Balor did on the Ross Report in October, his injury was more complicated and his time on the shelf could be closer to that six-month mark rather than four. Regardless, as we approach five months since he got injured, fans are going to start speculating about his return. After all, it’s not uncommon for WWE superstars to heal faster than the average person. Just ask John Cena.

But what reason would there possibly be for Balor to return right now? It’s not like the Royal Rumble is coming up or anything.

Oh, right.

Balor may be the most frequently fantasy-booked winner of this year’s Royal Rumble. Fans are clamoring for his return after his white-hot debut and subsequent devastating injury. Balor looks set to be a big part of the future of WWE, and that could get back on track on January 29.

Here are five reasons why Finn Balor, if healthy, should win the 2017 Royal Rumble.
