3.  “Demon” Finn Balor Becomes a Permanent Fixture

I would think that a moniker such as “An Extraordinary Man Who Does Extraordinary Things” would behoove its owner to be occasionally, if not often, extraordinary.

Finn Balor is an amazing athlete, but I have a hard time calling someone like Lio Rush (at the moment) a superstar who credibly threatens extraordinary.

Balor is an amazing wrestler, but he tends to lose rather often. His legendary tenures in NJPW and NXT showed just how lethal of a competitor he can be in the ring. At the moment, though, the Finn Balor we have seems complacent and keeps on smiling, despite never returning to the main event scene an injury dragged him from just a couple years ago.

Wins and losses should matter, and regular Finn racks up too many of the latter. “Demon” Finn, however, does not lose.

It allows Balor to tap into the beast within in order to vanquish all who stands in his way. He does not smile. He does not pander. He only takes bodies…as the likes of Kevin Owens and this Sunday’s challenger for the WWE Universal Championship Seth Rollins (more on him later) will tell you.

This might be a side the character of Finn Balor that he is afraid to let drive him, but he might need to take control if the main event is going to be his home in WWE.

The lesson that “Demon” Finn Balor is best for Finn’s business should be learned by now (it should have been learned before his match with Brock). Therefore, my next wish is for Finn Balor to allow his “demon” to take over for good starting this Sunday at WrestleMania.
