Finn Balor has a chiseled, magnificent physique, reminiscent of Greek sculpture of the gods. He's handsome as well, and young enough to appeal to the twenty something women in the WWE Universe. Those traits alone would probably be enough for Balor to have a successful career, but then you factor in his insane athletic ability, sense of timing, and technical wrestling acumen.

Simply put, Balor should be a much bigger star than he is right now. It seems like every time Finn Balor makes it to the main event picture, something happens and he slides back down the card.

His move to Smackdown Live could help him, given that he will have new challengers for his Intercontinental title. On the other hand, most of the quicker, more athletic wrestlers are on Raw now, which could limit the quality of his matches.
