5 Reasons why Finn Balor returned to WWE NXT

#4 Stacked main roster

The 'Demon King' doesn't have to let 'The Fiend' in

WWE main roster is stacked with talented Superstars which forces the creatives to limit their options. Often, this leads to several deserving Superstars find contentment in storylines that don’t justify their potential.

Given the state of the current main roster, Finn Balor would have had to take a step back and patiently wait for an opportunity. However, on NXT, he has the option of creating chances that will him bring the best version of himself inside the squared circle.

Balor had a good run on the RAW and SmackDown but more often than not, he was reduced to someone who can be the best in the fight yet suffer from a horrible loss. But that will no longer be his fate and deservedly so. After all, it’s almost a crime to have him stand by as a silent spectator.

Many argue that Balor’s talent was being wasted on the main roster. That judgment seems unfair as everything he picked up from RAW and SmackDown will now help him lead NXT.
