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

#5 Must avoid – Immediate call-up to the main roster

It's 'Too Sweet' but it is also too early

There’s no denying that NXT is the only WWE brand that does justice to Finn Balor’s character. His return to the Black and Golden brand took the Internet by storm and the only thing that gained more attention than his return was his heel-turn.

Although Balor was involved in good segments on the main roster, there was only a handful of those that helped him climb higher in the locker-room hierarchy. But hopefully, that won’t happen on NXT.

Now that he is a heel, Balor needs multiple interesting feuds to establish his dominance in the locker room. He is an amazing wrestler and deserves a better chance at showcasing his in-ring skills. But if he is immediately called up to the main roster, this fresh aspect of his character will quickly lose its charm.

Therefore, WWE must avoid bringing him to RAW and SmackDown immediately. He has a better chance of doing something new on NXT and the WWE Universe will appreciate the brand new version of his character if they see him initiating brawls at his ‘home’.
