5 opponents for Finn Balor when he returns in 2017

Balor should be back in WWE by early 2017, just in time for Wrestlemania 33

#4 Heel Roman Reigns

A heel Roman Reigns facing off against a returning Balor would be incredible

Ok, so this is incredibly unlikely due to WWE’s hesitance to turn Reigns heel, but there is no denying that this would be a must-see match.

Although many people criticise Reigns’ character, he is a stellar in-ring worker and has wrestled great matches this year with Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and AJ Styles. However, something has always felt missing, and that was a heel persona for the Roman Empire.

If Reigns were to turn to the dark side, he could wrestle classics with a number of top babyfaces, and one name that springs to mind is Balor. Their first encounter on Balor’s debut night was a very good match, but it was a babyface vs babyface bout.

If Reigns were to be the heel in a potential feud and possibly become a heel Universal Champion, Balor could return as the top babyface by capturing the gold at Wrestlemania 33 by beating Reigns.

The match would be stellar as well given the two competitors involved, and the face/heel dynamic would be perfect with the crowd being firmly behind the babyface Balor. Although it is unlikely WWE turn Reigns heel, a babyface Balor vs heel Reigns would be a must-see, marquee feud when Balor returns.

Check out their first encounter on the July 25th edition of Raw:
