Former Universal Champion to quit WWE RAW and go on a long hiatus following recent loss? Exploring the chances

The upcoming edition of WWE RAW is set to be a blockbuster, as it will feature the fallout from Saturday Night's Main Event. This past weekend has not been kind to many superstars, as it gave them both emotional and physical scars. In light of the recent events, a former Universal Champion might decide to quit Monday Night RAW and go on a momentary exile.

The star in question is Finn Balor. The 43-year-old competed against Damian Priest and Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship this Saturday. However, he could not capture the coveted title despite giving his best efforts. Balor is also expected to lose the World Tag Team Championship tonight as he and JD McDonagh are set to defend their gold against The War Raiders.

His heartbreaking loss at Saturday Night's Main Event, followed by The Prince potentially losing his tag title on WWE RAW, could send him into emotional turmoil. The weight of two consecutive losses might be too overwhelming for a veteran star like him, and why not? As a result, there is a high chance that Finn Balor might decide to go on a long hiatus to process the emotional fallout.

Besides, things have not been going well between Balor and his Judgment Day stablemates lately. Therefore, a break could help the former Universal Champion recharge and rejuvenate himself, giving him time to reflect on his recent setbacks. Following a potential hiatus, he could make a triumphant return after a few months and embark on a singles path on WWE RAW.

The above scenario is entirely speculation at this point but has a good possibility of happening. Will Finn Balor's recent loss push him to take a proactive step? Only time will tell.

Finn Balor to turn babyface after potentially leaving The Judgment Day on WWE RAW?

The Judgment Day is one of the prominent factions currently on WWE RAW. However, the bond and unity that once defined the group now seem to be fading slowly every week. A cold war has been brewing between Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan also appears to have formed a trio of her own with Raquel Rodriguez and Dirty Dom.

Given the recent events, Balor's departure from The Judgment Day seems imminent. But will his exit from the stable be the catalyst in his rumored babyface turn? That does not look like the case currently. While there is a good possibility that The Prince might choose to head on his individual path, he is expected to remain a heel.

The recent rumors suggest that WWE has been planning a blockbuster match between Damian Priest and Finn Balor at WrestleMania 41 to put an end to their rivalry. Therefore, The Prince will likely remain in his villainous persona until the culmination of his recent storyline with Priest. The company might rather make his current character more vicious.

It will be fascinating to see what the Triple H-led creative team has in store for Balor and The Judgment Day on WWE RAW.
