5 reasons why Finn Balor’s win over Johnny Gargano is good for business

The Prince had no time for the shenanigans of Johnny Takeover

#1 Frees him for NXT Takeover: Dublin

Balor has plans that may involve a trip back home!

During NXT Takeover: Portland, WWE announced that the next UK Takeover will be held in Dublin, Ireland on April 26. Given the fact that the country is Finn Balor’s homeland, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him booked for the event. If you’re still unsure about that, then let me be the one to inform you that he has already been announced for two NXT UK shows next month.

Since Balor has already picked a win over Johnny Gargano at Takeover and established his superiority, at least for the time being, he is free to look for new short-lived feuds with the Superstars of the NXT UK roster. This also explains why Gargano turned his attention towards the title before he had dealt with the man who caused him to miss his first Takeover of the career a short while ago.

At NXT UK Takeover: Dublin, Balor might find an opponent in WALTER. There is also a chance that fellow Irishman and the reigning NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin will be the one to lock horns with the Prince in a non-title match. The two are friends in real life and it will be perfect if both these WWE Superstars can engage in a good match in front of their home crowd.
