5 Things WWE must do with Finn Balor's heel turn and 5 things they must avoid

#1 Must avoid – Turning him into a ‘White Meat’ Babyface

Finn Balor's face turn should not destroy his run as a heel

After a long and eventful run as a heel, Finn Balor will eventually turn face and it will be just as surprising. However, this time WWE must avoid turning him into a silly babyface.

Take a look at the current WWE Universal Champion, Seth Rollins. ‘The Architect’ was an incredible heel. But ever since he turned into a babyface, his character started becoming less and less exciting with each passing week. Even today, there are several fans desperately waiting for Rollins to turn heel once again.

When Balor turned heel this week, the majority of the WWE Universe hailed it as the best heel turn since that of Rollins. It would be disheartening to see Balor’s impressive heel run meet the same fate as that of the Beastslayer’s current in-ring character. Hence, WWE must strictly avoid turning him into a ‘white meat’ babyface.

Instead, the creatives must book him like Kevin Owens who is smart enough to make the best use of opportunities to advance his position on the roster. Even as a babyface, Balor should be turned into someone who is unpredictable and will always choose the side that is in his best interest.
