WWE WrestleMania 34: Why Finn Balor should win the IC Title

Can Balor take the title to new heights?

When Balor faced Styles last October, there wasn’t much in regard to the build up. Granted, these where two former Bullet Club leaders trading blows in a WWE ring, but the match was booked spontaneously due to the illnesses that struck the RAW roster. Despite the lack of storyline hype, the two delivered one of the best WWE matches of 2017. My point is that wrestling isn’t hard.

At its core, wrestling is two or more people fighting to prove who the best is, in kayfabe. The motivations can vary (money, fame, honor, etc.), but most of the stories should have that foundation. As Intercontinental Champion, Balor could have matches similar to the one he had with Styles, but with more on the line than bragging rights. The title could give his character some focus, especially if he turns heel down the line.

Most of WWE’s titles are in a good place credibility-wise. Almost all of the champions are positioned as the best in their respective divisions. The Intercontinental Championship is one of the last holdovers in terms of the fans’ perception of it. Balor could change that at WrestleMania.
