WWE: 3 Reasons Why Finn Balor Should Turn Heel
By Sarah Hirsch
Finn Balor has found himself in sticky situation on WWE Raw with a Bray Wyatt feud that has confused fans.
Since Finn Balor returned to television right after WrestleMania things just haven’t worked out for the Irishman like fans had hoped for. Balor has found himself in a couple feuds that haven’t gone anywhere. With this current feud with Bray Wyatt, it has seemed to have done more harm than good for both men. Balor’s current placement on WWE Raw raises the question, what can be next for him?
With this whole Sister Abigail ordeal, it’s really hard to say what the company is trying to put forth with this ongoing storyline. A feud featuring these two Superstars has suffered from carelessness because the potential could have been huge for this feud to have a great outcome. Both Balor and Wyatt have complex characters that are great in their own sense that embraces the dark side.
Furthermore, with ties to their respective stables, fans can only hope for the opportunity to present itself considering Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are already on Raw. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are back together as a tag team on the blue brand. It seems like a good idea for both men on the idea of a possible return to Raw. The scenario is there however it doesn’t look promising for fans that are hoping the feud is salvageable.
There just hasn’t been any TLC (pun intended) put into this and it greatly shows. Balor is in great need of redemption considering that his comeback hasn’t been what anyone has hoped for. This comes to a point here, and that is perhaps a change of attitude will do Balor some good. Meaning, should he turn heel?
Considering that amongst the feuds Balor hasn’t even been granted the chance to regain the Universal Championship. Technically his rematch clause could still be valid (if they were able to do this with Randy Orton a couple years ago, then a case could be figured out with Balor) which right there can properly start his progress to redemption. It was apparent last summer that there were big plans for Balor before the untimely shoulder injury that happened at SummerSlam. What I am saying is that instead of patiently waiting, Balor can just take his chance with a newfound attitude to go with it.
Or perhaps that could take a detour to put an end to Wyatt once and for all with a Club reunion? Maybe a possible Club vs. The Shield could happen sooner rather than later? So many ideas, but what plans are and how it plays out are a different story.
Either way, turning heel can do wonders for the former Universal Champion. The reasons why are really no surprise however, it presents a bigger picture.
