#1 Karrion Kross vs. Finn Balor

Finn Balor after winning the vacated NXT Championship

After Kross defeated Keith Lee in a grueling match at NXT Takeover XXX, he had to vacate the NXT Championship because he suffered a shoulder injury during that match. Kross delivered a heated promo on the following episode of NXT. When he relinquished the title, "The Herald of Doomsay" vowed that he would be coming for the title soon. Now that he's back, Kross is bound to get the shot at the title.

Finn Balor won the vacated championship at NXT Super Tuesday II last year. "The Prince" just retained the title against O'Reilly at NXT New Year' Evil. He's a resilient competitor, and even if Kross comes for him, Balor won't go down without a fight.

Kross has already planted the seeds for this match. Scarlett had a confrontation with Balor, and the champion declared that he's ready for Kross. It seems like it's only a matter of time before Kross challenges Balor for his title.

Kross has reemerged as a dominant force on NXT. But Balor will probably do everything in his power to stop "The Herald of Doomsday" from taking his title.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
