5 WWE stars who could replace Kofi Kingston as SmackDown Live's top babyface

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor has been lost in the SmackDown Live shuffle ever since he moved to the brand in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up after WrestleMania 35.

The Irishman donned his “Demon King” attire at ‘Mania to win the Intercontinental Championship from Bobby Lashley for the second time, but he spent most of his 98-day reign with the title watching on from backstage as other Superstars were given opportunities to show what they can do on Tuesday nights.

Moving forward, many fans are expecting Balor to join AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson as a member of The OC on Raw when he returns from his two-month post-SummerSlam sabbatical, but it is worth remembering that WWE has previously used backstage segments to tease a possible alliance between Balor and Styles but nothing has ever come from it.

If WWE takes a different direction and attempts to push the former Universal Champion to the main-event scene on SmackDown Live upon his return, he would definitely rival Kofi Kingston as a top babyface on the show.
