5 realistic contenders to move to WWE SmackDown Live in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up

#3 Finn Balor

Like Braun Strowman, Finn Balor is a world title-worthy Superstar but he looks unlikely to win the Universal Championship any time soon. Since finally receiving his rematch for the championship he was forced to relinquish in August 2016, he has lost title matches against Roman Reigns (Raw) and Brock Lesnar (Royal Rumble).

Moving forward, the Irishman has his sights set on Bobby Lashley’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 35, where he will don the “Demon” attire for the first time since his win over Baron Corbin at SummerSlam 2018.

Regardless of whether or not he defeats Lashley (he will – this is the “Demon” we’re talking about!), Balor would be well suited to SmackDown Live.

If he wins the Intercontinental Championship, he could freshen up Tuesday nights by taking the title with him in exchange for the United States Championship. If he doesn’t win at ‘Mania, he could put his Universal and IC title woes behind him and turn his attention to another major title, the WWE Championship, on the blue brand.
