WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Finn Balor Should Win

5. He Can Go After The Title He Never Lost

The legend of Finn Balor is on hold right now. But as it stands, he is one of the most dominant superstars in WWE history. Nobody has ever made more of an immediate impact than Balor did after he made his long-awaited debut on Raw. He showed up, defeated Cesaro, Rusev, and Kevin Owens in a fatal-4-way, then defeated Roman Reigns later in the night for the right to challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Then he beat Seth Rollins clean as a whistle, capping off an incredibly dominant initial run for the former NXT Champion.

But then he was forced to relinquish his title due to injury. The man who came up from NXT and ran through all of Raw’s top talent had to vacate his title due to a torn labrum. What does that mean? It means Balor has yet to be defeated on the main roster and that he never rightfully lost his championship. When he’s finally healthy enough to compete, Balor should be given the chance to regain the Universal title. One way to give him that chance is through the Royal Rumble.

The story of Balor trying to reclaim what is rightfully his would be fantastic heading into WrestleMania. Coming back somewhat early from injury and winning the Royal Rumble just to get back to the top of the mountain, a place from which he was wrongfully knocked off, would be an ideal way for him to return.
