5 Possible Opponents for Brock Lesnar after No Mercy

#2 Finn Balor

Remember that Finn Balor is still owed a Universal Championship shot

Finn Balor came up to RAW soon after the first ever brand split and immediately became the Universal Champion, in a record 27 days. On the 28th day, he retired the championship, owing to an injury that he had sustained during SummerSlam.

All said and done, he is owed a championship match. Yes, we know that when it comes to size, he does not really match up to Brock Lesnar. At the same time, Balor is one of the best workers in the world and always tries to tell a story in the ring.

The babyface sympathy for Balor would be at an all-time high. Win or lose, it would be a star-making performance for Finn Balor to be in a program with Brock Lesnar.
