Finn Balor and Damian Priest will finally lock horns when they battle at WWE Bad Blood on Saturday, October 5. The two arch-rivals have been at war since Balor cost Priest the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam in August.
The Judgment Day leader will want all the help he can get against the dangerous Archer of Infamy. Carlito and JD McDonagh have been somewhat clumsy when trying to take out the former World Champion. Their stablemate could turn to his former ally, AJ Styles.
The Phenomenal One has been absent from WWE TV since June. He lost to Cody Rhodes in an I Quit match for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash at the Castle in Scotland.

AJ Styles is waiting in the wings, but his return to action has been delayed. The former two-time WWE Champion is a SmackDown star, but the brand split hasn't been fully adhered to since the draft in April.
Finn Balor could secretly enlist the help of the Face that Runs the Place to down a dogged Damian Priest at WWE Bad Blood. Styles could then join the Judgment Day and help the faction re-establish itself as a powerhouse unit.
AJ Styles has a ton of history with Balor and also Liv Morgan. The trio opposed the original Judgment Day, which consisted of Edge, Rhea Ripley, and Priest.
There could be a story where the stable decides that Carlito is dead weight and kicks him out of the group. Caribbean Cool has been losing regularly on WWE TV, and a replacement like Styles would propel the faction.
Finn Balor needs to beat Damian Priest at WWE Bad Blood
Finn Balor turned on Damian Priest at SummerSlam because he felt everything changed after his former ally won the World Heavyweight Championship. The Irish star claimed to have waited a year before betraying him.
Damian Priest had been on a roll as a World Champion, and it helped him get over as a major babyface. He's now one of the top stars in the entire company, and fans adore the male half of the Terror Twins.
Finn Balor has struggled to establish himself as a threat despite taking leadership of Judgment Day. He's lacked high-profile wins in feuds, and his tag title run with JD McDonagh has left much to be desired.
This is why Balor should be the one winning at WWE Bad Blood this Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. He needs the victory to look stronger and perhaps help his faction return to being on top on Monday nights.
