Finn Balor can surprise the WWE Universe with his next move

#2 Finn Balor seeks revenge against The Fiend

Finn Balor would want his revenge against The Fiend

In 2019, ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt defeated Finn Balor at SummerSlam that accounted for one of the most underwhelming losses for the latter in WWE. Balor then went off the television and came back on NXT two months later. Although both superstars pursued different directions following their last meeting in the ring, Balor must have The Fiend somewhere in the back of his mind.

When Finn Balor eventually returns on the main roster, he is bound to go after The Fiend that humiliated him at SummerSlam. He can also bring back his Demon King persona to fight against The Fiend on RAW. This is a revenge storyline that has been in the making ever since the demonic entity handed a humiliating loss to Balor.

Booking this feud will also allow WWE to pit two incredible gimmicks against each other. We will get a lot of surprising moments, and it could lead to a huge push for both superstars. WWE could have Finn Balor engage in one big feud on NXT before leaving right in time for a surprise return at SummerSlam. Defeating The Fiend could play a big role in pushing Balor into the world title picture on the main roster.
