#4 Finn Balor
Finn Balor was the first Universal Champion. He had a roller-coaster ride but unfortunately he had to surrender his title due to injury.
It seems that payback time has finally arrived for Finn. Since his return to the ring, Finn has been a top performer, he picked things up where he left off. It is the right time for the WWE to give him a shot at the title.
A match between the powerful beast and the high-flying machine is a scintillating concept. It has all the ingredients to be a classic match. The Demon-King avatar of Finn Balor could be utilized to make the build-up more interesting.
Moreover Balor is a huge fan favorite, and he will have the WWE universe on his side. This could be an important factor which would help Balor defeat the Beast and become the champion again. The WWE could top it off by giving Balor a good run with the belt.
