#6. Finn Balor - Doomed to follow the old WWE main roster cycle?
Trending
It's been nearly half a year since Finn Balor returned to the WWE main roster, and he's back in the same position before he returned to NXT in 2019. When Balor jumped from the main roster to NXT two years ago, he enjoyed another strong reign as the top champion - one where he didn't use The Demon persona once.
When asked why, he said that he felt like using the gimmick was a step back. However, when it comes to the main roster, marketability is everything, and the company wasted little time in making The Demon return for Extreme Rules 2021.
The Demon suffered his first loss on the main roster to Roman Reigns in what was a bizarre and underwhelming finish. On RAW, Finn Balor has had mixed results, but he seems to be in a position where WWE is using him as someone to elevate younger superstars.
Balor desperately needs to win a championship in 2022, otherwise his return to the main roster will follow the old cycle of him losing momentum.
