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

#3 Must do – Feud with top Superstars

Johnny Gargano isn't the only one upset about that kick

Finn Balor is a credible WWE Superstar who has earned the respect of a lot of fans. He is extremely over with the crowd and the WWE Universe enjoys watching him perform inside the squared circle. Thus, a feud with him helps opponents gain more attention from the pro-wrestling fans.

Although NXT enjoys a dedicated fan base, it doesn’t enjoy the perks of a large audience. In my opinion, NXT is the best brand in WWE but it still has a long way to go before it experiences the popularity that RAW and SmackDown witness weekly.

Hence, booking epic feuds between Finn Balor and top NXT Superstars such as Tomasso Ciampa, Adam Cole, Matt Riddle, etc. will allow the brand to garner more attention. His feud with Johnny Gargano has already got the pro-wrestling world buzzing. Needless to say, their match has the potential of tearing the house down at Takeover.

The likes of Ciampa or Gargano going one-on-one against Balor will definitely spark excitement among the fans. The more they book such intimidating rivalries, the more people will tune in to watch NXT on Wednesday nights.
