4 Biggest Things Vince McMahon Could Be Planning For Finn Balor

Judging by how things have panned out on Monday Night Raw in the recent weeks, WWE could be planning to push the Extraordinary Man Finn Balor.

The former NXT Champion just pinned John Cena to seal his place in a fight against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble.

Considering that the birth of All Elite Wrestling has brought some legitimate pressure on WWE, Vince McMahon is certainly looking to put his best foot forward going forward in to 2019.

With Finn Balor now scheduled to lock horns with the Beast Incarnate, this dream match could very well be a 'do-or-die' situation for the Extraordinary Man.

While legions of fans are claiming the match will end with Lesnar squashing Balor, others are still hoping that the match could certainly go down as one of the most compelling in Lesnar's career.

Since rumors have emerged that the Mayor of Suplex City himself selected the former Universal Champion for the Royal Rumble, this could very well lead to a fantastic encounter between the two.

But, where does this lead Finn? Is he going to get a huge push after he fails to beat the Conqueror at Chase Field? That's the question that deserves an answer.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 4 biggest things Vince McMahon could be planning for Finn Balor.

#1 Brock Lesnar shows respect to Finn Balor 'The Man' after he takes the Universal Champion to his limits

If anyone in the WWE Universe thinks that Brock Lesnar's clash with Finn Balor for the Universal Championship is going to end up being a disappointing ride, then you certainly are watching the wrong show.

If history is any indication, Brock Lesnar has always performed reasonably well against guys who are leaner than him and possess all the agility and athleticism to knock it out of the park.

Superstars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, A.J. Styles, and Daniel Bryan are enough examples to prove that this bout between the two could be riveting and would probably end up showing how talented Balor is, as a wrestler.

The Extraordinary Man certainly understands his craft, and with Vince McMahon planning to push him, this match would definitely see Finn taking Brock Lesnar to his absolute limits.

Performances like this can easily solidify a superstar's future and status backstage, and the fans always love to see a 'David vs. Goliath' storyline pan out in the most creative way possible.

Ending the match with Lesnar showing his respect for Balor could easily end up being one of the biggest moments in Balor's career and would catapult his position as a top guy on the main roster.

#2 Winning the Royal Rumble as The Demon King and challenging the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35

There's no denying that the fans would definitely want to see Finn Balor enter Chase Field as the Demon King to legitimately dethrone the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

However, this might not happen at all. Finn Balor's demonic demeanor deserves to be strongly protected, considering that it is the only element that makes him more riveting.

Since he would fail to get his hands on the Universal Championship, Balor could still shock the world by entering the Royal Rumble as the Demon King and going on to win the entire thing.

With Vince McMahon tied in an unfortunate situation around with All Elite Wrestling, the creative team could be looking to put their best foot forward and bring something shocking this time around at the Royal Rumble.

Winning the Men's Royal Rumble match and going on to challenge the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35 would be an incredible way to push Balor towards the blue brand, and possibly make him the face of SmackDown Live.

Personally speaking, I would definitely love to see the Extraordinary Man lock horns with the 'New' Daniel Bryan. It would not only be a solid feud, but would be successful in positioning the former NXT Champion as the most coveted prize holder in WWE history.

#3 Turning heel and challenging the Undertaker at WrestleMania 35

A significant question that is running on everyone's mind is what happens with Finn Balor when he fails to beat the Beast Incarnate at the Royal Rumble?

Since it is highly unlikely that Finn Balor walks out of Chase Field as the Universal Champion or the Royal Rumble winner, he could walk a similar path as John Cena did last year.

Considering that Balor doesn't have a Road to the Grandest Stage of Them All, the former NXT Champion could snap and genuinely turn heel to challenge the Phenom.

Booking such a feud would certainly entice the fans because we have all wanted the Undertaker to one day lock horns with the Demon King, and what better place to do it than MetLife Stadium in New Jersey?

Turning Balor heel could make things compelling on the red brand, with the Extraordinary Man taking regular personal shots at the Phenom.

Regardless of the fact that the Undertaker must close the curtains on his career, pitting him against Finn Balor is a bout we would all love to see happen.

#4 An underdog storyline with Vince McMahon as the ruthless antagonist

Will Mr. McMahon prove ruthless for Finn?

Since the company are all set to prepare a major push for Finn Balor, involving Vince McMahon as the antagonist could make this ride a thrilling one.

The Extraordinary Man confronted the Boss on Monday Night Raw and admitted that he never believed in his abilities which certainly brought the spotlight on the former NXT Champion.

Judging by how Vince reacted, it feels like the Chairman still believes in pushing guys with a solid physical stature than the ones who are the embodiment of everything a professional wrestling fan wants to see.

With Balor definitely portrayed as an underdog in this angle, the company could bring something huge to the table, with Mr. McMahon playing the role of a ruthless antagonist who will do anything in his power to demean guys like Finn Balor.

While the story could be on a similar line as Daniel Bryan in 2014, the story could genuinely ascend Balor's status to the top of the industry, with the former Universal Champion becoming a marketable superstar under Vince McMahon.
