#4. Finn Balor's unfortunate status on RAW

Finn Balor has had a mixed return run to the main roster, and that has continued on RAW. While on SmackDown he was presented as an immediate Universal Championship challenger, he was never going to dethrone Roman Reigns, even as The Demon.

His run on Monday nights has been mixed so far, filled with inconsistent booking and several losses accompanied by a few wins. This week, he teamed up with United States Champion Damian Priest to take on Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

While it normally would have been an easy win for the babyfaces, Austin Theory interjected and made a difference. It was because of him that Balor took the pinfall and lost yet another match on RAW - with Priest facing a rare defeat as well.

Theory thought it was enough to impress Vince McMahon, but it wasn't. The boss said he has no friends and tried to give Austin Theory a piece of advice by showing him the most dangerous weapon ever - a pencil. But it wasn't the sharp side he was focused on - it was the eraser. None of it made any sense whatsoever.

With that said, a Finn Balor-Austin Theory feud will likely commence on RAW starting next week, which means that The Prince will likely lose yet another rivalry. It's an unfortunate drop in status for the former Universal Champion.
