5 things that could happen on RAW next week

#1 Finn Balor qualifies for the Elimination Chamber match

I am hoping against all hope and begging WWE to give us John Cena vs. Finn Balor at WrestleMania, and for the sake of everything good in this world, for Finn to actually win the match clean. That dream can continue if Finn gets into the Chamber match. The “second chance” 4-way match only has two possible winners, with Finn being one and Apollo Crews being the other. I could certainly see WWE putting Apollo in the match to continue his mini-push, but that would dash all hopes for Cena vs. Finn, and instead, we could see The Undertaker pulled out of the mothballs to take on John Cena! Yay!

I said it earlier. Cena eliminated Balor from the Rumble match. Balor can eliminate Cena from the Chamber match and they can go head-to-head at WrestleMania. Or, if you want to take it in a bit of a different direction (which I wouldn’t, but that’s just me), you can have Cena eliminate Finn from the Chamber match as well, which would lead to Finn calling Cena out because he wants to prove himself. I don’t personally like that narrative because it pains Balor as a lower tier guy, and he shouldn’t be. Finn Balor has defeated Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, both former WWE Champions, clean in the middle of the ring. He’s the first ever Universal Champion and even though he has been booked as a mid-card nobody since his return, he deserves better. Finn is a damn star, and he should be presented as equal to Cena.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
