WWE TLC 2017: 3 Reasons Why Finn Balor Should Defeat AJ Styles

Due to an unspecified illness, Bray Wyatt has been replaced at WWE TLC 2017 by AJ Styles, who will now face Finn Balor in a battle of the former “Bullet Club” leaders.

Since returning from a shoulder injury to an enormous pop on the Raw after WrestleMania, Finn Balor has been lost in the shuffle on Monday nights. He’s been getting wins, but none of them have been in marquee matchups. Balor has lost No. 1 Contender matches, though they were multi-man bouts, for the Intercontinental Championship and Universal Championship. Balor also suffered an anticlimactic loss to Roman Reigns, and he’s been busy in a never-ending feud with Bray Wyatt despite multiple convincing wins over “The Eater Of Worlds” at pay per views.

Tonight, Balor will get a chance to beat his most prestigious foe in 2017, as he will face off against AJ Styles. Though the former WWE Champion wrestles on SmackDown Live, Styles has been called into action as Wyatt’s replacement, and there’s no telling how awesome this match could be.

Although Balor vs. Styles is an incredibly difficult bout to predict due to the immense wrestling ability and fanbase that both superstars have, here are three reasons why Balor should win at WWE TLC 2017.
