#4 Why is Finn Balor on NXT?
Finn Balor made his triumphant return to NXT this week and while the decision was met with a chorus of cheers, others were left wondering why 'The Demon King' would be moved down to the Gold Brand? The problem with that thinking, however, is that NXT is no longer the developmental brand they used to be and are now on mainstream television.
Not only does that instantaneously put NXT on the same level of SmackDown and RAW, but it also creates a dynamic where the Gold Brand becomes must-see TV. Fortunately for WWE, bringing Balor back to his old stomping grounds was a great way to win fans over.
The move gives Balor a chance to relive his glory days in NXT and brings some very real star power to the brand as well. Beyond all that, the potential feud with Adam Cole for The NXT Championship and the other possible dream matches alone are surely enough to get fans to keep tuning in.
That's why the move is pure genius! It takes a guy that was white-hot in NXT, and brings him back in a way that oozes nostalgia.
