#2 Finn Balor could mark his return to the WWE main roster by winning King of the Ring

If WWE brings back King of the Ring, the concept could also involve NXT. It would make things even more interesting, while the in-ring action is improved. But whether the black-and-gold brand is a part of the potential King of the Ring tournament or not, Finn Balor very well might be.

His days in NXT may be coming to an end, with a return to the main roster seemingly imminent. Hopefully, after a brilliant run in WWE's third brand, Balor could be treated like the star he is back on RAW and SmackDown. One way to showcase him as such would be to mark his return with a King of the Ring victory.

Balor's in-ring work in NXT was off the charts, which would make him an instant favorite for such a tournament. A run to the final would do well to remind the casual WWE audience just how good he is.

The former two-time NXT Champion deserves a fresh start as a main-eventer after his climb to the top of the card ended heartbreakingly. Winning the King of the Ring tournament may be the perfect gateway for Finn Balor to return to the world title scene in WWE. If it happens, could we see the Demon King again?
