5 possible ways to reintroduce The Balor Club in WWE

Ever since relinquishing the WWE Universal Championship due to an unfortunate shoulder injury in Summer of 2016, Finn Balor’s WWE career hasn’t been the same due to some absolute lackluster booking on behalf of the WWE Creative Team.

Balor, who at one point was considered as a potential challenger for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Universal Championship, technically never got his one-on-one rematch for the top prize on the Monday Night Raw brand and still awaits his fair shot at the gold.

However, in early 2018, things once again started to look really bright for Balor, who after much-anticipation was finally paired up with former Bullet Club stablemates Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in the WWE.

After a string of successful wins over the likes of The Miztourage and the trio of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Jason Jordan, Balor, and his fellow Balor Club stablemates were finally heading towards a positive direction.

But all good things don’t last forever and this was the accurate case for the very talented Balor Club which was shortly afterward officially split during the WWE Superstar Shake-up, as the duo of Gallows and Anderson jumped ship to SmackDown Live.

With The original Balor Club now long gone, there is certainly no doubt to the fact that fans would absolutely love to see the reunion of this very talented faction which at one point was the turning point in Finn Balor’s career.

Therefore, with that being said, here are 5 possible ways to reintroduce The Balor Club once again in the WWE.

#5 Finn Balor finally changes brand and gets drafted to SmackDown Live

AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows offering a Too Sweet to Finn Balor at SummerSlam, 2016

With the recent conclusion of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up, it is pretty unlikely that the WWE would consider a change of brands for ‘The Demon King’ Finn Balor anytime soon. But, a change of brands and a draft over to the blue brand of SmackDown Live is exactly what Balor needs right now.

With the recent reunion of The Club on SmackDown Live, this seems to be the perfect time for Balor to finally switch brands and join forces with WWE Champion AJ Styles and his fellow associates Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows and eventually form WWE’s version of The Bullet Club.

However, with AJ currently in possession of the top prize in WWE, it is pretty much guaranteed that Balor is likely to be a mid-carder on the blue brand as well, but after working under the leadership of AJ as part of The Club for a few notable months, ‘The Demon King’ could finally start to show his real colours and eventually turn his back on ‘The Phenomenal One’ with the help of frustrated Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who at this point have failed to capture the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles on more than one occasion.

Balor, now with the backing of both Anderson and Gallows once again, could subsequently challenge Styles for the WWE Championship and on this occasion, the two men could put up another instant classic, much like they did at last year’s TLC pay-per-view.

#4 A few helping hands from NXT

Finn Balor as the NXT Champion

The current NXT roster is absolutely stacked and there are currently several talented men such as Lio Rush, Fabian Aichner, and Wesley Blake, who have been neglected by the WWE Creative Team for far too long. Then there are the likes of Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch who are quite possibly going to get mixed in the shuffle of this very talented NXT roster.

Thus, what better way than to bring them up on the main roster and pair them with the longest reigning NXT Champion of all time? Now, this definitely does feel like a throwaway faction, but considering the initial impact that was made by The Nexus, these men could certainly pull-off yet another invasion angle. But this time, it would be under the guidance of a proper leader in the form of Finn Balor, who instead of going to SD Live sticks with Monday Night Raw for the time being.

In addition, the likes of Marcel Barthel, the very experienced Chad Lail, Steve Cutler and Babatunde (who on this occasion could become Balor’s bouncer, much like Bad Luck Fale) could all provide an assist to the likes of the aforementioned names and give a whole new meaning to the term ‘Balor Club is for Everyone’.

#3 Balor recruits a monstrous tag team as part of The Balor Club

Could Balor team up with either one of these two tag teams as part of The Balor Club?

The deadly duo of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre have dominated and destroyed every single opponent that has tried to step into their path of destruction and that right there is a fact.

However, as of right now, there is also no surprise to the fact that both McIntyre and Ziggler are directionless in terms of current booking and the WWE creative team don’t seem to have any sort of plans for either man at this point of time as well.

So what better than an alliance with the very talented Finn Balor, who is also apparently suffering the same fate and is lacking direction on the main roster as well. The trio of Balor, McIntyre, and Ziggler could absolutely wreak havoc on the main roster and it would subsequently also allow Balor go after the WWE Universal Championship once again.

On the other hand, both Ziggler and McIntyre could turn their focus towards the Raw Tag Team Championships.

Similarly, the story of The Authors of Pain on the main roster is pretty same as well and another solid option would be to instead pair Balor up with the devastating duo of Akam and Rezar, after all, Balor himself in the past has stated that he'd like to have both these men in the Balor Club at some point down the line.

#2 Balor starts recruiting members from the Raw brand

The Boss Club

Now if you weren’t a big fan of the previous idea of a potential Balor Club which was simply based on NXT superstars, then I suggest you give a good read at this point.

So, Finn Balor at this point is a man full of frustration and disappointment, after recently failing to win the Money in the Bank ladder match, which was seemingly his only ticket towards a shot at the WWE Universal Title.

On the other hand, Balor’s close friend and former partner Sasha Banks is also going through the same situation after she failed to capture the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase, which is going to be the likely scenario after this year's MITB pay-per-view.

So with that being said and done, Balor and Banks now decide to reform The Boss Club for the time being and team up occasionally on Monday Night Raw and at SummerSlam, where they compete in a mixed tag team match against Bayley and Chad Gable and in doing so, this finally allows WWE to pull the trigger on the Bayley and Banks rivalry, with ‘The Boss’ finally turning heel on Bayley at the biggest event of the summer.

The next night on Raw, Finn Balor could finally pull off the unthinkable on his behalf when he goes toe-to-toe with Chad Gable and by the end of the match, we get to witness the heel turn from the former Universal Champion. He then goes on a little talent hunt with Sasha Banks and slowly and steadily recruits several members for The Balor Club, such as the likes of Apollo Crews, who finally dumps The Titus Worldwide and starts showcasing the ruthless side of his.

Furthermore, the trio of Balor, Banks, and Crews are joined by the likes of Bobby Roode, who could play the modern day Rick Rude for The Balor Club, Mike Kanellis, who was one of the finest heels in ROH as part of The Kingdom.

But, the final addition to The Balor Club is a certain game changer, as we witness the happy-go-lucky Bobby Lashley finally join hands with Finn Balor and his fellow group of associates and one-by-one starts destroying all the big guns on Monday Night Raw such as the likes of Roman Reigns, John Cena, Braun Strowman, and even Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

Now, judging by the last point, WWE could possibly decide to pair up McIntyre and Ziggler or The Authors of Pain with this current incarnation or The Balor Club or have them run through the entire Raw roster as a trio itself, either way, one destruction is bound to be caused on Monday Night Raw.

Standing current members of The Balor Club: Finn Balor, Sasha Banks, Apollo Crews, Bobby Roode, Mike Kanellis, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre or Dolph Ziggler/The Authors of Pain.

#1 A top Raw star turns heel, as Balor pulls-off the biggest shock in WWE history

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins' have developed a very interesting relationship

Over the course of the past few decades we have witnessed some of the most shocking moments in WWE history, be it the debut of Sting, the ending of The Undertaker’s legendary streak, or be it Seth Rollins’ shocking betrayal of The Shield.

Speaking of Seth Rollins, by this point of time, we all know for the fact that Rollins’ recent relationship with Finn Balor has been bittersweet, the two men have faced-off against each other on numerous occasions and have even teamed up with each other on plenty of occasions as well.

The current incarnation of The Balor Club (which has been mentioned in the previous points) consists of several top superstars, but definitely does lack a mastermind who needs to stand side-by-side with Finn Balor and can simultaneously help the leader of The Balor Club in order to successfully play all his cards on the rest of the WWE roster and from here onwards, if there is any particular superstar who is capable enough of doing so, then it is non-other than ‘The Architect’ Seth Rollins.

Yes, personally, I feel that having Rollins turn heel once again, only for him to finally form an alliance with Finn Balor and The Balor Club will be treated as one of the biggest shocks in WWE history, if not the biggest shock of all time and the WWE on this occasion could once again swerve its entire fanbase by having Rollins turn his back on The Shield on the second successive time.

The Shield, who were evidently the only ones to step up to the plate and challenge The Balor Club, once again will get their hopes shattered when Ambrose and Reigns’ fellow stablemate Rollins once again decide to betray them and shakes his hand with The Demon on this occasion.

I mean every successful stable in the history of Pro Wrestling had two major members at the top who were always treated as the two leaders. For instance, Triple H had the support of DX originator Shawn Michaels and vice versa, AJ Styles had the backing up of fellow Bullet Club stablemate Karl Anderson, during their time together in the faction.

Even The Undertaker had the guidance and support of Paul Bearer during their Ministry of Darkness days. Thus, I’m pretty sure having Seth Rollins as the mastermind and the co-leader of The Balor Club seems like a fairly legitimate decision.
