#2 Finn Balor could jump from NXT to challenge Roman Reigns

This may seem like an odd choice, but it isn't out of the question. Finn Balor lost the NXT Championship to Karrion Kross at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. And it seems like his time on the black-and-gold brand might be over.

Balor has done everything possible for a star of his caliber during his second run in NXT, from turning heel and back to embarking on a stellar title reign. He could return to RAW or SmackDown following WrestleMania. The Irishman is a much bigger star now than he was when he left the WWE main roster.

Finn Balor would be a smart push, not unlike his 2016 debut, which saw him defeat Roman Reigns on his first night on RAW. He became the Universal Champion within a month but had to relinquish the title due to injury. WWE has a second chance with a world-class talent that it shouldn't squander.

Balor could return to SmackDown and quickly gain enough momentum to take on the Universal Champion. Reigns has not had a bad match since he returned last year, and a potential match against the two-time NXT Champion could be one of his best.
