During an interview with Ringside Collectibles at Ringside Fest in 2017, Balor later revealed that he wanted to have a much larger faction with WWE.

"I'd definitely have Karl Anderson. Luke Gallows, probably the most underrated big man in the game. Here's the kicker: I would add in The Authors Of Pain. Who's gonna mess with me then? I could just stand in the front and I can have Karl Anderson here, Gallows here, The Authors Of Pain on each side."

WWE did allow The Prince to allign ith Gallows and Anderson. However, he didn't gain the services of The Authors of Pain, possibly because the duo were heels onn WWE NXT at the time while Balor was a big babyface.
