WWE: 5 possible feuds for Finn Balor on SmackDown
Ali
After losing to Andrade, who made his Raw debut, Finn Balor picked up a big victory over Ali to mark his SmackDown Live debut. Balor and Ali had a great match, but they left plenty in the tank in case they have a bigger rivalry this summer or later.
Hopefully, WWE gives wrestling fans what they want by having a full Balor/Ali program that builds off of this match. Ali does such a great job against any type of opponent, but he’s at his best when he’s getting sympathy from the crowd. Maybe a feud with Ali can give Balor a chance to turn heel for the first time in his career.
I mean, it’s probably not happening, because wrestling fans have been asking for it so long that it seems impossible. But maybe, just maybe, we slowly get to see a more vicious side of Balor on the Blue Brand, to the point where he snaps on Ali.
Honestly, Ali is a perfect Intercontinental Champion, and he’d be the perfect guy to eventually beat Balor in a huge, feel-good moment. Since joining SmackDown Live in December after impressing in a match against then-WWE Champion Daniel Bryan, Ali has showed off his huge potential on the main roster, and a feud with Balor could help further vault Ali’s star status.
