5 best opponents for 'Heel' Finn Balor in WWE NXT

#4 Tommaso Ciampa

Daddy's back but he doesn't like the surprise

Ever since his return to NXT, Tommaso Ciampa has focused on taking back his NXT Championship. He was forced to vacate the title after suffering from an injury earlier this year. But now that he is back, he wants his hands on the gold.

After yesterday’s main-event, Ciampa was prepared for a brawl with Finn Balor and Johnny Gargano on his side. While Gargano remained a reliable backup for him, Balor revealed his not-so-friendly intentions. His attack on Gargano led to The Undisputed Era attacking Ciampa and Adam Cole and Co. left no stone unturned in brutalizing his challenger.

It is fair to assume that Ciampa will not forget this incident anytime soon. He would like to avenge the betrayal that led to him and his best friend being manhandled by their rivals.

Ciampa vs Balor will be brutal, with or without any title on the line. And sooner than later, we will see these two NXT Superstars locking horns.

#3 Velveteen Dream

If you ignore Dream for too long, he will become your nightmare...

Today, Velveteen Dream is one of the most celebrated NXT Superstars. He brilliantly portrays his in-ring character which complements his skills very well.

Following yesterday’s show, even he would like to get a taste of ‘heel’ Finn Balor who took the pro-wrestling world by storm with his actions. They both are high-flying Superstars and can moderate the pace of the match as per the crowd’s reaction.

Dream is known for his footwork inside the squared circle. He will prove to be a tough competitor for Balor who is equally fast and smart in his matches.

If booked properly, this rivalry can explore new altars of success. Even as a heel, Balor has a lot of fans rooting for him. Their match will see a divided crowd chanting for their favorite.

On paper, if this doesn’t look like a ‘dream’ match for you… give them a chance and they will prove you wrong.
