Finn Balor debuted in WWE in 2014 as a part of NXT. He became a one-time NXT Champion, with his reign being the longest in the title's history at 292 days. Shortly after arriving on the main roster, Balor became the first Universal Champion when he defeated Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 but relinquished it only a day later due to a shoulder injury.

After returning, he never got the chance to fight for the title he didn't lose and got lost in the mid-tier status.

Balor is the agilest and most athletic wrestler in WWE today but still remains as one of the most undervalued performers. His in-ring skills are up there with the best and he doesn't deserve to be anything less than a top star. His Balor Club stint has been much adored by the fans but it hasn't led him anywhere near the main-event scene.

Maybe Balor needs to move to SmackDown Live and fight for an even better prize - the WWE Championship. Balor winning the title will be his redemption for his rematch and will be best for business.
