In the upcoming episode of WWE RAW, Finn Balor is set to face Damian Priest once again in the squared circle. During their last singles bout, The Archer of Infamy handed a disappointing loss to Balor. However, the Street Fight stipulation for the rematch presents the former Universal Champion with an opportunity for revenge.
Amid this, one possibility arises that if Balor suffers another loss, he might turn into a babyface star. Further, this could eventually reunite him with his former friends Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley at Royal Rumble 2025. Reports suggest that Finn Balor is expected to receive a major push this year in the Stamford-based promotion.
As the WWE Universe has noticed, Balor has been involved in heated segments with Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio over the past few months on the red brand. These developments spark the possibility that Balor could soon disband Judgment Day and transition into a heroic character. One potential scenario for turning Balor into a babyface could involve him suffering another loss to Priest on RAW. Following this, Finn might conclude that his current path with The Judgment Day isn't working and decide to disband the whole villainous faction.

This could lead to Balor transitioning into a babyface star. Post this, a mini-reunion of the OG Judgment Day could happen at Royal Rumble 2025. This could take place if and when Finn apologizes to Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest for his past actions against them. Balor could then continue on his path as a single competitor, similar to how Ripley and Priest operate individually but always support each other.
Turning Finn Balor into a heroic star through this scenario seems like a great prospect to explore. This offers WWE the chance to give him the singles push he deserves on the main roster. It remains to be seen how the storyline of The Judgment Day will unfold in the upcoming weeks, especially with Liv Morgan no longer holding the WWE Women's World Championship.
What could be the potential direction for Finn Balor if he turns babyface in WWE?
One potential direction for the former Universal Champion, if he turns babyface, could be his pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship. The last time Finn Balor held a world title was in 2016 when he became the inaugural Universal Champion, only to relinquish it in less than a day due to injury.
Now, Balor could once again chase the biggest prize on The Road to WrestleMania 41. Besides this, the veteran could also set his sights on a mid-card championship. A feud between Bron Breakker and Finn Balor could be an intriguing storyline, and there would be no shame if Balor dethrones Breakker to become champion.
Additionally, a rivalry with Dominik Mysterio could be an ideal scenario, especially if Balor leaves The Judgment Day while Dominik remains a villainous star. We will have to wait and see if Finn's booking this year manages to turn him into a fan-favorite again.
