WWE Extreme Rules: 3 Reasons why Finn Balor will turn heel soon

#1. A WWE title program as a top heel

Can Balor do it again?

It has been nearly three years since Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 to become the inaugural Universal Champion. Unfortunately, the injury he suffered during the match forced him to relinquish the title, and he hasn't been a world champion ever since.

In my fantasy match card prediction for SummerSlam 2019, I mentioned how a heel Finn Balor is the ideal choice to dethrone Kofi Kingston as the next WWE Champion. In all of his appearances at SummerSlam, Balor has brought out the Demon King, and that trend should continue this year as well.

While WWE could book him in a rematch against Nakamura, that would hardly make any sense, as it would either mean a loss for The Demon or yet another quick title change. On the other hand, a program with Kofi would be fresh and interesting.

There is a huge chance of fans turning on whoever defeats Kofi for the title, but if there's one person who can avoid that - it is the Demon King. And with the backing of The Club, Balor can begin a potentially memorable reign as the WWE Champion.
