5 Reasons why Finn Balor not becoming Number 1 Contender at Extreme Rules was the right decision

#1 He needs to win the Universal Championship when he challenges for it

He never lost the belt

Finn Balor never lost the WWE Universal Championship. And this means he really has to win it again when he challenges for it. It is the perfect redemption story and a loss would undermine the progress he has made too much.

And, there is no way Finn is getting the win against Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire. So, it makes sense to keep him out of the picture and until they are ready to put the main belt on him.
