WWE Raw: Did Finn Bálor Just Turn Heel?

Finn Bálor just attacked Seth Rollins during a Raw segment leading to speculation that Finn could have just turned heel.

On Raw, Seth Rollins came out to address the crowd in Quebec. The current Intercontinental Champion got a massive ovation from the hot crowd to begin the segment, and Rollins went on to say that he will be a fighting champion unlike Brock Lesnar.

Hearing the words “fighting champion”, Finn Bálor jumped at the opportunity and made his ring to a loud ovation of cheers. He then proceeded to challenge Seth to an Intercontinental Championship match on Raw “right here, right now”.

Both competitors and the crowd all seemed to love the idea, and they seemed set for action. This was until The Miztourage, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, interrupted the segment. The Miztourage claimed that all four of them should be working together instead of against one another and become the new Four Horsemen. They even made some great shirts for their new faction idea!

However, after Rollins and Bálor both gave a hard no to Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel, The Miztourage attempted an attack out of frustration. It was unsuccessful, though, as Seth and Finn disposed of them with ease.

Then, out of nowhere, Finn Bálor attacked Seth Rollins out of nowhere and stood over the Intercontinental Champion. He pointed to Rollins and the title as if to say “watch your back” or “I’m coming for you”.

This attack was met with some hearty boos from the crowd, and Finn soaked them up with a big smile on his face. So, this leads to the question: Did Finn Bálor just turn heel?

In short, no. This was more of a just a heads up to Rollins that he is coming for his title. While Seth has to deal with The Miz and The Miztourage right now, Finn wanted Rollins to be aware that he has a bigger threat to his title coming up the rear in the form of a Demon.

ALTHOUGH, this may be foreshadowing a Finn heel turn. After coming up short at WrestleMania, then being just inches away from grabbing the IC strap at The Greatest Royal Rumble, it may just take one more loss to The Architect for Finn to finally snap and turn heel.
