#3 Finn Balor desperately needed an opponent
Finn Balor overcame multiple obstacles in his rivalry with Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush before winning the Intercontinental Championship for the second time from “The All Mighty” at WrestleMania 35.
Sadly for the Irishman, he has hardly been given a chance to show what he can do as a champion since his ‘Mania triumph, with storylines involving the likes of Kofi Kingston, Bayley and Shane McMahon taking priority on SmackDown Live following his move to the brand in the Superstar Shake-Up.
It is alarming that the only televised Intercontinental Championship match in the last three months came at WWE Super ShowDown, where Balor defeated Andrade in a match which had a limited amount of build-up on SmackDown Live.
Moving forward, Balor desperately needed a meaningful rival, so it is no surprise that WWE has taken Shinsuke Nakamura away from the tag team scene and placed him in a one-on-one storyline again.
