5 reasons why Finn Balor won his match at NXT

Finn Balor attacked Trent Seven backstage at NXT, and that set the tone for a match between these two performers on this week's episode of the yellow and black brand. The wrestler made a transition by moving over to NXT after taking a break following SummerSlam. He decided to go up against anyone, and his first victim was Johnny Gargano.

Johnny went away from the ring, but it fueled his desire to return to the ring, and while he is back right now, there is no storyline currently going on between these two, as the storyline involving Trent Seven from Team Moustache Mountain has taken center stage.

Finn attacked Trent in the parking lot, and the match during this week's episode of NXT was inevitable, which was eventually won by Balor. It was shocking as no one expected this win, but the company does what it does for a reason, and I list my thoughts for your reading pleasure and request you to chime in for the readers' kind perusal.

By the way, do you think NXT is now the better brand? Hear what the WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has to say regarding the scenario!

#5 To help Finn Balor's Heel Character

Heels are important for business

Finn Balor plays a heel right now, and it wouldn't help him if he loses a match during the initial part of the storyline. Trent is a talented wrestler, but we have seen various storylines commence and culminate in the same manner, and this one would be no different.

Balor is a wrestler that moved from the main roster to the third brand and has proved his dominance with amazing promos and great matches. The wrestler has all the skills to play the character to perfection, and so it would be nice to see how he and the creative team elevate his heel character in the weeks that follow. This is a great storyline, and the fans are invested in it.

#4 Cross-promote both wrestlers

Cross Promotion has helped many superstars

Finn Balor and Trent Seven are talented and respected wrestlers, and they don't need an introduction, but we all know that the company has done cross-promotion in the past, and it has helped wrestlers elevate their careers. Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm, as well as other wrestlers, are a prime example of it because they performed in both brands and were able to build a fan base that would root for them irrespective of whether they were working Wednesday or Thursday Nights.

The two wrestlers in this story are known for their amazing skills on the mic and in the ring, and this way of getting across each other would help them discuss their issues as well as promote both brands on each other's platform.

Finn made a transition from the main roster to NXT, and he has a lot of experience by his side, which would prove to be invaluable for his opponent and the brand as well.

#3 Reap the benefits of Worlds Collide Event and pave the way for future events

Events can be entertaining for the WWE Universe

WWE Worlds Collide was an event where the WWE Universe witnessed the best of both worlds, and if the event's success is to be judged, the fight between Imperium, and The Undisputed Era, gave the fans something worth remembering. There were amazing matches between wrestlers of the women's division, and we also witnessed an intervention by Tyler Bate as Finn Balor tried to attack Johnny Gargano backstage.

The event helped two amazing brands at different locations showcase their best talent to the fans, and this win could serve as the pedestal for bigger, and better events to take place in the near future.

The WWE Universe is no longer stuck with the main roster talent and focuses on watching quality performance which is why NXT and NXT UK have seen good days. This win by Finn Balor is another step in the same direction. His power and finesse will help him lead this story into a better outcome in the future.

#2 To get a powerful opponent

Finn Balor needed a powerful opponent for himself, and Trent Seven is a performer that can help Balor as well as himself by getting the best push in the process. Balor still has to fight Johnny Gargano, but until these two collide between the ropes, the former NXT Champion needs to have some competition by his side, and Trent Seven serves as the perfect person that can give him great competition between the ropes.

In case the other member of Team Moustache Mountain decides to show up, this entire story will hype to a great level, which will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to this storyline. The first Universal Champion has skills, and if the deck is stacked against him, it would be nice to see how he plays through his opponents to get the win. He is a master at playing games, and the wrestler will provide the most amazing entertainment to the fans.

#1 Filler Feud Until Johnny Gargano Steps Back

Finn Balor has been a major reason behind Johnny Gargano's absence from the roster as the latter was on the receiving end of an attack by the former Intercontinental Champion after the Worlds Collide event. It is a given that Gargano would return the favor soon, but until he does, Balor needs an opponent and who better to fill in for it except one half of Team Moustache Mountain.

We all know that Balor can help any wrestler because he has years of experience under his belt. He is a wrestler that will have a powerful story with Johnny Wrestling when the latter steps between the ropes and challenges Finn for a fight.

It would be a welcome experience for the fans, but until that happens, the company can't showcase Balor as a weak wrestler in any way, and that is one of the major reasons why he is currently in the driver's seat for both the storylines.
