Finn Bálor took a huge blow when he sustained a horrible shoulder injury on his way to winning the WWE Universal title against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. The injury caused Finn to vacate the title and put him on the shelf for at least six months.
However, many are speculating that Bálor could return as early as the Royal Rumble. If so, he's coming back with a chip on his shoulder and vengeance on his mind. This could result in a quick heel turn, which could be bankrolled into the formation of The Bálor Club.

We all know that AJ Styles is currently on the Smackdown roster and the others, including Bálor are all on Raw. But, if things go as I expect, we could see the end of the brand split in 2017 and have things go back to normal.
Regardless, there are others options, one being that Styles remains on Smackdown and makes the babyface turn that so many want. But, no matter what happens to AJ, Bálor needs to make a statement upon his return and there are not many ways better than introducing the Bálor Club to the WWE Universe.

He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
