Finn Balor will not show up on the September 23 episode of Monday Night RAW, but he is set to appear next week in the final episode before the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.
The leader of The Judgment Day is preparing for his match against Damian Priest, the first time the two former friends will collide after Balor's betrayal at SummerSlam in early August.
As things are expected to heat up heading into the October 5th Premium Live Event, let's take a look at three things we could see the former champion do on RAW next week.
#3. Make a deal with a non-Judgment Day member
It goes without saying that The Judgment Day will get involved in the match to help Finn Balor defeat Damian Priest. Still, this might not be enough for the faction, as The Punisher is expected to have help as well.
We should expect Rhea Ripley and Jey Uso to be by his side, given the unfinished business with The Judgment Day, while Rey Mysterio and LWO could also get involved.
Thus, Finn Balor could make a deal with a non-Judgment Day member to have his back at Bad Blood. Who this superstar might be is still unclear, but it could be reigning Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, who has a feud with Jey Uso.
Breakker could ensure that the Yeet Master will not get involved, neutralizing a threat for Finn. Such a plan could help WWE extend the rivalry between Jey Uso and Bron Breakker, leading to a title rematch either on RAW or at one of the upcoming Premium Live Events.
#2. Align with former champion Raquel Rodriguez
Raquel Rodriguez hasn't been seen in WWE for months, as she's dealing with a health issue. However, she is getting closer to her return, and Liv Morgan has already hinted at a reunion with Raquel once the latter is back.
With that in mind, if she is back next week, Finn Balor could align with her against Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest at Bad Blood.
Such a development would add more fuel to the current feud and could create new angles when it comes to both the Women's World Championship and the rivalry between the Judgment Day and the Terror Twins.
#1. Adding a stipulation to Finn Balor's match with Damian Priest at Bad Blood
Damian Priest is out for revenge on Finn Balor after the latter cost him the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. To make things more interesting, Finn Balor could add a stipulation to make it more brutal and also make sure that The Judgment Day will be able to interfere.
Thus, an Extreme Rules Match would make sense here, as well as a No Disqualification Match or a Street Fight. Another stipulation that could be added would be a Falls Count Anywhere Match or a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match.
Given that RAW GM Adam Pearce has already added a few stipulations to the other matches (CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell, Dominik Mysterio locked into a Shark Cage, etc.), Finn Balor could do the same for his match with Damian Priest.
