5 Problems with Finn Balor winning the Intercontinental title at Elimination Chamber

#2 Consolation prize

Let's be honest here. Finn Balor needed this momentum!

Another thing the WWE Universe needs to be honest about is the fact that Balor has been in desperate need of momentum over the course of the last couple of weeks. Beyond that, if WWE kept booking Balor how they have been over the last couple of months, he would have only continued to fall down the card.

With that being said and Balor needing momentum heading in WrestleMania 35, this seems like more of a consolation prize than anything else. In fact, between the thrilling match that Balor put on at Elimination Chamber and how fans have continued to get behind him, it feels like Balor deserves so much more than this.

In the end, its not exactly known where all this will lead or whether Balor will hold onto the title or not, but this is the momentum that Balor has needed for quite a while. What makes this momentum even more valuable is that it is coming only months before WrestleMania 35, which could help put him in a high profile match.
