Since returning to the NXT brand, Finn Balor has been on a path of destruction. His return has truly shocked the system, and he has been able to dominate against his opponents more often than not.

Starting with Matt Riddle, Balor has gone through Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, and it seems like he will be getting in his biggest rivalry yet with NXT UK Champion WALTER and his faction, Imperium.

While Balor has preferred to hunt on his own for now, he will possibly need to look for some help in order the get one over Imperium.

The Demon King has been among the founding members and leader of the infamous Bullet Club and has led his own faction in WWE called the Balor Club.

Even though he is currently flying solo, he could make another Balor Club in NXT for various reasons. We will take a look at 5 such reasons in this article.

Finn Balor has been one of the most successful Superstars of the decade. Since making his WWE debut, the Irish Superstar has won the NXT Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and Universal Championship.

After surviving on RAW and SmackDown for several years, the first-ever Universal Champion decided to make his way back to NXT after taking a loss from ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt.

With a lot under his belt, one thing we know is that Balor always has a plan in mind, whether when it’s taking on ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar, or releasing him inner Demon upon his opponents.

By reforming the Balor Club with some of the NXT Superstars, Balor could get a massive push and bigger storylines as his plans will work even better with more men involved. Just like AJ Styles has The O.C. and Seth Rollins has his new faction, Balor could do a lot with some henchmen of his own on the Black and Gold brand.

Not only will it allow Balor to boss around some men, but it will also help him put his plans into action even better.

#4 It could help lesser-known or lesser-pushed talent

NXT has some of the top wrestlers in the world. Along with that, the brand gives several newer Superstars and emerging talent a place to compete with the best in the world and polish their skills to take it to the big leagues.

Finn Balor is a big-league player who is now making waves yet again on the Black and Gold brand even when he is not competing in the ring.

Fans stay glued to their screens to watch segments involving Balor as he is one of the top Superstars in WWE. His star power could do a lot for his competitors even if they lose to him, and even more for men who decide to join him in his endeavors.

Keeping that in mind, just like Seth Rollins, Balor could help put over lesser known or lesser utilized Superstars grandly without losing any value of his own.

Superstars such as Austin Theory, Shane Thorne, Mansoor, or even the entire Forgotten Sons faction could come under Balor and benefit a lot from walking alongside him.

#3 He’ll need backup in his endeavors

There is no doubt in our minds that Finn Balor is trying to bite off more than he can chew since his return to NXT. Not only has he picked fights with men like Matt Riddle and Johnny Gargano, but he has also gone toe to toe with the Undisputed Era.

Now he has found himself between another four men faction called Imperium, and it will be very difficult for him to dethrone WALTER as all three of his followers will effectively try to undo Balor and take him out.

For this very reason, it will be important for Balor to bring together a team of Superstars who can help him break down the walls of Imperium as he tries to go after WALTER and his NXT United Kingdom Championship.

While Balor could pull off the task of dethroning WALTER himself, it will make more sense for NXT to construct another faction around Balor as he is as big, if not bigger, as WALTER and Adam Cole.

NXT UK is a budding brand and Balor could find some Superstars there who would benefit from siding up with the former NXT Champion.

#2 A possible need to replace The Undisputed Era

The Undisputed Era has been the undisputed king of the entire NXT, and possibly the entire WWE for the past few years. Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish have stuck together through thick and thin, and won all the men’s gold there is to win the NXT.

At present, only Adam Cole has a title around his waist in the form of the NXT Championship, while Strong has lost his NXT North American Champion while O’Reilly and Fish have lost their NXT Tag Team titles.

Since the four men faction has done everything possible in NXT, we could watch them move to RAW or SmackDown and start dominating another brand in their quest to become the best in the business.

With that in mind, NXT could look for a replacement faction on NXT just to make things more interesting on the Black and Gold brand and allow a heel team to dominate throughout.

Finn Balor could create that faction and lead the entire NXT brand along with some other Superstars to take over NXT and free The Undisputed Era of their duties.

#1 It could lead to a massive feud down the line

Finn Balor has gotten into some top-level feuds on NXT in no time. He has run through Matt Riddle, Tommaso Ciampa, and Johnny Gargano, and even competed for the NXT Championship against Adam Cole.

With Balor running through some of the top Superstars on NXT, it’s only a matter of time before he goes through everyone and has no singles rivalries left to compete in, creating a massive headache for the creatives.

By forming the Balor Club in NXT, he could start feuding with some of the tag teams and factions in the company. We could watch him go up against Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne, The Forgotten Sons, and The Grizzled Young Veterans.

At the same time, he could also search for some individual milestones, such as winning the NXT Championship again, with the help of his faction.

This could lead to some cracks forming in the faction down the line, allowing Balor to have a massive feud with one of the members of his own faction. Such storylines have always worked well in WWE, and we could get one such storyline which we’ve been expecting of The Undisputed Era but probably will never get.
