#7 Finn Balor

Balor hasn't held any gold since his one-day Universal Championship reign.

Like Styles, Balor doesn't really have a huge relationship with the members of the Elite. His main allegiances would be with the Guerillas of Destiny and Bad Luck Fale as well as the Good Brothers.

If that's one of the main reasons why people think he'd be tempted to go to AEW, then they might need to rethink things.

He could opt to try things out in AEW because even though he was the inaugural Universal Champion, he hasn't been booked nearly as well as that time.

Balor was treated as a big deal as he debuted on the main roster but he must have soured in Vince McMahon's eyes since he got hurt right away and is a smaller guy.

If he or Styles left, then maybe they could have the whole Bullet Club vs. Elite war if the Good Brothers also quit WWE as well.

Balor would likely be booked much better in other promotions due to his in-ring ability and not because of his size.

Him leaving would be harder on Triple H who was very close with Balor during his time in NXT.

Balor was the face of the brand for over two years, so since things have been different on the main roster, maybe his mind is thinking of going elsewhere when his deal is up.
