WWE Bash in Berlin is fast approaching, but it seems like Finn Balor will be one of the stars who won't be in action at the upcoming premium live event. However, there could be several reasons why the Stamford-based promotion decided this.
At SummerSlam 2024, Finn Balor betrayed Damian Priest and let Gunther become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The Prince has since kicked Damian and Rhea Ripley out of The Judgment Day and added Liv Morgan while keeping the rest of the members. On this week's RAW, Damian and Rhea vs. Liv and Dominik Mysterio was made official for WWE Bash in Berlin, and it looks like the new couple will be the only stars to represent the group.
In this list, we will look at three reasons why Finn Balor won't be wrestling at WWE Bash in Berlin.

#3. To put the spotlight on Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio
The Judgment Day storyline has been one of the most looked-forward-to moments on WWE RAW in recent times, even though Randy Orton vs. Gunther and Odyssey Jones' alliance with The New Day is also gaining traction. Although the group already has a lot of eyes on them, Liv and Dominik's relationship is still quite new.
As many may recall, Dominik initially rejected Morgan's advances until he finally gave in at SummerSlam to betray Ripley. They have only been RAW's newest couple for a few weeks and the company may want to focus on their chemistry first, both in and outside the ring at WWE Bash in Berlin.
#2. WWE Bash in Berlin could be used to build more anticipation for Finn Balor's feud with Damian Priest
Damian Priest and Finn Balor have faced each other before inside the ring, but not while being groupmates. Their eventual match would be special, as it won't only be personal due to their history with each other but also because they have evolved a lot as wrestlers.
WWE may be taking their time with the feud between them, not wanting to rush having them fight immediately inside the ring. Instead, at Bash in Berlin, Balor's presence could be a major distraction for Priest and Ripley's team.
#1. Bad Blood would be a better premium live event to feature Damian Priest vs Finn Balor
After WWE Bash in Berlin, the Stamford-based promotion will have another premium live event in October called Bad Blood. The main theme of the event, based on its name, is all about feuds that stem from betrayal, a fitting one for Damian and Finn.
If Damian vs. Finn does happen, it should take place at WWE Bad Blood. This will give both men more time to feud and further build on their rivalry.
