5 Biggest Reasons Why Finn Balor 'The Demon King' Can Save Monday Night Raw

In what is already becoming one of the most disappointing months in wrestling, WWE needs to plan something influential and rejuvenating to save Monday Night Raw.

There's no denying that the red brand is suffering from stale storytelling and has been constantly criticized for not bringing anything new to the table.

One of the more prolific reasons why the flagship show is seeing such a low in its viewership is the booking of some of the most underutilized competitors in the game. One such is Finn Balor.

The longest reigning NXT Champion has suffered the wrath of the creative minds in the management and has struggled to make a name for himself within the squared circle.

However, his recent feud with Drew Mcintyre could be a turning point in his career, with the First-Ever Universal Champion being a major highlight of the red brand on Monday.

Could Finn Balor finally step up and deliver what the fans have been anticipating from him for months? Let's see. Here are the 5 biggest reasons why Finn Balor 'The Demon King' can save Monday Night Raw.

#1 His feud with Drew Mcintyre will get most of the limelight on Raw

While I'm not a fan of the way the creative team in the WWE tells a story, I'm definitely looking forward to what transpires between Finn Balor and Drew Mcintyre.

There's no denying that both the competitors have earned their spot on the red brand but are poles apart in their in-ring psychology. Since Vince McMahon certainly likes presenting such stories to the audience, clashing these two would prove more beneficial for the longest reigning NXT Champion.

With the Scottish Terminator gravitating much of the spotlight on the red brand, this could be an ideal opportunity for Finn Balor to make the most of this opportunity and become something special.

Both the competitors possess all the ingredients to tell a quality story and with the fans disappointed with the product, a strong booking in this feud could ascend Balor to the top of the industry here.

#2 He definitely has a chance of defeating the odds with his Demon gimmick

There's no denying that Monday Night Raw has suffered the wrath of bad storytelling, but the creative team has still managed to keep little focus on Finn Balor.

Drew Mcintyre's meteoric rise to the top of the red brand will certainly coerce the company to book his feud with Balor in a more engaging way. Considering that the Scottish Terminator has repeatedly assaulted the longest reigning NXT Champion, it's about time that Finn Balor unleashes the demon within and take Monday Night Raw by storm.

While fans have been vehemently disappointed with Finn's booking, his demonic presence certainly lights up the arena and makes things more rejuvenating and intense. If he can go on to defeat Baron Corbin in a squash match at SummerSlam, he can certainly take the former NXT Champion in Drew Mcintyre to his limits at WWE TLC.

#3 A possibility of aligning with Bray Wyatt can save the tag-team division

While Vince McMahon continues to present Drew Mcintyre as the next big thing on Monday Night Raw, there are stars that are still waiting to get an opportunity to grab the brass ring.

Considering how stale some of the booking is, it would be an ideal time for the company to align an odd pairing in Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor to shake things on the red brand.

Finding an ally in the Eater of Worlds could genuinely result in a serious alteration on Raw, especially the tag-team division. There's always a possibility of introducing new members into their faction.

The red brand certainly misses the star power and with the company facing the wrath of Roman Reigns' absence, it could be incredible to see Balor and Wyatt displaying their mettle and proving their worth to the WWE Universe.

A pairing of such stature would invite the possibility of more regular appearances from the Demon King who remains the only saving grace for Balor and Monday Night Raw, at this moment.

#4 Nothing else has been working on Monday Night Raw

One of the most disappointing reasons why Monday Night Raw has been receiving such widespread backlash from the fans is repetitive storytelling.

Baron Corbin's recent alignment with Drew Mcintyre and Bobby Lashley has been played out multiple times and it was an instant failure.

Considering that the company sees Mcintyre and Braun Strowman as the pillars of the red brand, there has been less emphasis on what is transpiring on the rest of the show.

While Seth Rollins' personal rivalry with Dean Ambrose started off on the right note, the feud has not presented anything of substance, as of late which is making things worse on the red brand.

In such a case where nothing else has been working, bringing Finn Balor as the Demon King could spice things up and gravitate some much-needed attention towards the main event picture.

There's no denying that if provided with the opportunity, Balor can run riot on the red brand and would certainly make Raw a more convenient and watchable product.

#5 He has failed as a man. He won't fail as a Demon.

While Finn Balor is one of the most underutilized performers in the game today, he definitely carries an alter ego that could steal the show whenever provided with an opportunity.

Since his demons are always lurking somewhere behind, this would be a do or die situation for the First-Ever Universal Champion to unleash the darkness on the Scottish Psychopath. His underdog persona of bringing the fight but falling down to the muscle on the red brand has not worked, but would definitely coerce him towards finding the dark side.

As Mcintyre said that Finn Balor is a boy living in a man's world, this might lead to a serious evolution in Balor's character from becoming a fallen man to an unforgiving demon. Considering that the fans enjoy watching something of this stature, his demonic presence would certainly bring us a guaranteed blockbuster bout with Drew Mcintyre.
