Finn Balor is undoubtedly one of the best in-ring technicians in the WWE. He was the first ever Universal Champion and also has an alter ego which is still undefeated inside a main roster WWE ring. However, the leader of the Balor Club has got lost in the mix ever since he has made his return from injury.

Balor has being booked in meaningless feuds against the likes of Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin and Elias which has demoted him to the lower mid card of Monday Night RAW. Perhaps, a switch to the Cruiserweight Division or SmackDown Live would help him revitalize his WWE career. Balor has never been booked in a match against a WWE legend and probably having one could help him establish himself as a top star.

In this countdown, I will list down the three WWE legends that Balor should face before they call it a day.


#1 Triple H

The real problem in the WWE currently is that the legends are booked to face the legends while the young superstars are booked to face other young superstars. A change in this booking pattern could help the WWE ratings bounce back. Having Finn Balor feud against Triple H would undoubtedly draw more eyeballs towards WWE TV.

Finn Balor has graduated from WWE's developmental territory, WWE NXT which is run by Triple H and having a rivalry between the master and his disciple would be earth shattering. Triple H is currently injured and his rumored WrestleMania match against Batista is also doubtful.

However, given the fact that Hunter has managed to stay match fit all over the years, it can be expected that these two superstars will lock horns sooner than later in the WWE.

#2 The Undertaker

The Demon King avatar of Finn Balor is one of the mystical characters produced by the WWE Creative team in the modern era. While, the Undertaker character was (and still is) one of the best mythical on-screen WWE characters. Having a showdown between the two superstars would certainly break the internet.

Finn Balor and the Undertaker are two of the biggest names in wrestling industry and it is baffling why the WWE Creative team chose to waste Undertaker's Greatest Royal Rumble appearance in a casket match against Rusev.

I don't undervalue the Bulgarian Brute here, but Finn Balor is certainly a grander superstar than him and thus, it would have made more sense to see the Demon King and the Undertaker battle in a casket match. However, this match can still happen in the coming year which would seemingly the Deadman's last in the WWE.

#3 Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy is one of the most decorated superstars in WWE history and surprisingly he has not yet been involved in a feud with Finn Balor despite the two being on the same brand for almost 1 year. The chief reason behind its non-occurrence could be WWE's avoidance to risk a face vs face match-up.

Finn Balor vs Jeff Hardy is a dream match for any WWE fan as both have proved their respective abilities to perform well inside the squared circle, many a times. The time for Hardy is running out and it would be great if the WWE books a feud between Brother Nero and the Demon King in the near future.
