#9 Finn Balor not competing at WrestleMania 33

Finn Balor,
The Demon King, Finn Balor.

Finn Balor might have been out with an injury for almost a year, but that didn't stop fans from rooting for "The Demon King" when he finally did make his return to the squared circle. While Balor was greeted with an extremely warm reception when he made his triumphant return on the night after WrestleMania, one has to wonder why they couldn't have done it 24 hours ago.

Sure, it's understandable that WWE wouldn't want Balor taking the attention away from the other stars they were hoping to establish at The Show of Shows, but they could have stuck him in there somewhere and still made it interesting. In fact, WWE had the perfect chance to do just that during the street fight between Seth Rollins and Triple H.

It's no secret that WWE could have used this match to stage a Finn Balor run in and have him come to Seth Rollin's aid in some form or fashion during the bout. The crowd would have received him with a loud pop just like they did during The Hardy Boyz return and it would have opened the door for the two to form a tag team that could have won the title.

In the end, it probably would have been a great ending to see Balor and Seth Rollins fight side by side and could even have given both the Superstars some much-needed momentum heading into the coming months. Instead of doing that, Rollins floundered in the mid-card for much of the middle of 2017 and Balor still hasn't gotten all of his momenta back that he had last year.
