5 things that could happen on RAW next week

#2 Jason Jordan calls out Finn Balor

Jason Jordan Injures His Knee Again

I have no idea what exactly WWE is doing with Finn Balor, but it’s clear that they have no direction for him right now and he’s being used to further the stories of other wrestlers instead of being involved in something for himself. With that in mind, I do know what they are doing with Jason Jordan.

He’s slowly turning heel, as he is obviously milking his mild knee injury and using it as an excuse to try to get out of bad situations while trying to make himself look valiant by fighting through the pain, claiming his knee is 100% when it might not be. And even if it is perfect, he’s still being cowardly.

It’s all WWE’s way to continue the rift between him and Kurt Angle, to show that Jordan is a slimeball who will take shortcuts, and eventually will lead to a full-on heel turn. It’s not clear how it will happen, but that the clear path.

This week, Jordan called out Kane but when the match started getting too difficult, he decided that his knee was hurt and that he wasn’t able to continue. He feigned trying to beat the 10-count but obviously intentionally failed to get back into the ring on time. It didn’t help him avoid taking a beatdown from Kane (which made no sense, but whatever), but that assault from Kane led to Finn Balor coming to the ring to make the save.

JJ will take offence to that, saying that he doesn’t need Finn Balor to fight his battle and that he would have been just fine out there on his own. Kurt will give him a match with Finn, and it wouldn’t shock me if he faked a knee injury to distract Balor and the referee in order to get a cheap victory.
