4. His Monumental Push Can Continue

WWE is obviously all-in on Balor. He was kept in NXT for much longer than anyone anticipated just so he could anchor the brand. Then when he was brought up the main roster, he beat all of Raw’s top talent in the matter of a month. And not only was he dominating everyone he competed against, the fans were into it. This wasn’t a Roman Reigns situation where the fans hated having one superstar shoved down their throats. They were behind Balor wholeheartedly. So when Balor returns, there’s no reason his push shouldn’t continue.

Balor has already accomplished so much as mentioned before. Clean victories over Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins as well as a world title victory highlighted his ridiculous first month on the main roster. Now imagine if the first thing he did after returning was win the Royal Rumble and earn the right to main event WrestleMania? Talk about committing to one guy for the future.

But this is a push that fans want to see. By giving Balor the Rumble victory, it would confirm that his push isn’t stopping just because of an injury. There is no reason not to put Balor right back on the path he was on prior to his injury, and a Royal Rumble victory would do exactly that.
