WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Finn Balor Should Win

2. A Feud With Roman Reigns or Kevin Owens Would Be Perfect

Roman Reigns is set to square off with Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. The result of that match will probably shape the road to WrestleMania since the title is unlikely to change hands after that, meaning the winner will be in one of the main events at the Show of Shows. And if Balor wins the Royal Rumble, it doesn’t matter if Reigns or Owens comes out on top. They would both would create a great feud with the Demon King.

With Owens, we’ve seen that story before in NXT. But nobody would complain about it being rehashed on the main roster. They destroyed each other over the title in NXT, especially during their infamous ladder match at TakeOver: Brooklyn. They have chemistry with each other and could undoubtedly produce a classic match at WrestleMania if it came to that.

As for Reigns, he and Balor have history to build off of. Balor defeated Reigns the night of his debut, and following the match he said, “I hope Finn Balor beats Seth Rollins for that WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Because when he does, I want him again.”

Plus, Reigns vs Balor would allow Reigns to work more as a heel which he has been effective with in the past. His match vs Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank saw him basically be a full-fledged heel, and he excelled. With Balor being so popular, him up against Reigns in that role would be electric, especially considering how good they both are in the ring.
