Finn Balor can surprise the WWE Universe with his next move

#3 Finn Balor moves to NXT UK

Finn Balor could go after WALTER's NXT UK Championship

WWE planned to move Finn Balor to NXT UK, but the world came to a halt due to the ongoing pandemic. Karrion Kross then sustained an injury on the same night he won the NXT Championship, forcing the WWE Superstar to relinquish his gold. In his absence, NXT trusted Balor to carry the title once again. Now that Kross is back and Balor can fly to Europe, it might be the time for WWE to go back to their old plan.

Finn Balor could move to NXT UK and challenge WALTER for the Championship. The latter is one of the most dominant performers on the brand, and Balor could pick up a statement victory over him. Both Balor and WALTER are bound to engage in a brutal title feud that has the potential to set the standard for NXT UK altogether.

WWE would love to have Finn Balor as the face of NXT UK. He can uplift the entire roster with his presence, and Balor might end up staying there for a while. It is possible that Finn Balor will only return to the main roster after he has spent at least a year on NXT UK. It will be interesting to see which other superstars can step up to challenge Balor on that brand.
