5 reasons why Finn Balor defeated Tommaso Ciampa and attacked Adam Cole

#2 To confirm that he won’t be joining/making any faction

Balor joining Undisputed Era seemed like a possibility before Wednesday

One of the biggest rumors that have been going around since Balor’s return to NXT has been that he will be forming a team or a faction with some other Superstar(s).

When Balor took out Johnny Gargano, he was in a stand-off against The Undisputed Era along with Ciampa and Gargano. This prompted many to believe that Balor would pledge allegiance to The Undisputed Era and go against babyfaces of the brand.

Later on, Balor helped The O.C. of RAW, led by AJ Styles, in a match against Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Keith Lee. This fueled the speculation even further.

As days went by, Balor seemed to be working alone and although fans speculated that he might join Team NXT for Survivor Series, he did not show up at the event.

This week, as he battled Tommaso Ciampa, he was helped by The Undisputed Era’s leader Adam Cole during the clash which proved vital in his victory.

After the match, as Cole patted Balor’s back, Balor attacked Cole in order to kill all rumors and speculations that he will be joining the members of Undisputed Era.

This was necessary at a time when fans kept believing that he would be drawn towards the successful villainous faction, and now that he has attacked Cole, it seems like The Prince of NXT will be working alone going forward.
