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

#3 Must avoid – Rushing him into the title picture

Although having Finn Balor feud with top NXT Superstars will fetch a lot of attention, WWE must wait for a while before including him in the title picture.

Before Balor can get his hands on the gold, he needs to establish himself as a credible heel. He gets enough attention even with no title around his waist. Hence, WWE can capitalize on it and successfully narrate interesting storylines without including the title.

In his absence, there are several other Superstars who have clawed their way to the top. It would be slightly unfair to overlook their hard work in the light of a returning Superstar.

Before pushing Balor into the title picture, WWE must ensure that he is the most deserving Superstar for the top prize of the brand. Following that, the creatives can have a heel as a champion, one that won't be easy to overcome.
