#2 We received a very strong indication that Finn Balor will be facing Brock Lesnar soon
Trending
While Bray, Roman, Seth and Joe were busy dealing with each other, Finn Balor was given a week to stand out on his own. Out of all the would-be competitors for Brock’s Universal Title, Finn does have a very salient claim to being the next challenger, having never lost the championship in the first place.
Who knows where Finn would have been now if it hadn’t been for his injury? Perhaps we would have seen Finn vs. Brock a fair few times already.
In a surprising turn of events, Finn Balor’s promo was interrupted by Paul Heyman, who seemed very keen to shower praise and adulation upon the Demon King. This felt like a defining moment in Balor’s career, receiving the much anticipated onscreen ‘rub’ from one of the greatest managers in WWE history.
On the surface, this felt like the WWE preparing us for Finn vs. Brock in the near future.
In WWE’s world, however, predicting results to matches can be fairly tricky. Many people in the know assumed Jinder Mahal would not be leaving Backlash with the WWE Championship, but that shocking decision was made at some point before the opening bell.
One thing is for sure, though, Balor has to be seen as the odds-on favourite at the moment. One would imagine that Roman will be facing Brock in a later PPV, most likely WrestleMania 34, and Joe and Seth don’t seem to be finished with each other just yet. There is Bray, of course, but a match up with Finn just feels more likely at present.
