In this year's WWE Draft, Finn Balor was drafted to the WWE RAW and big things may be in store for him.
Balor was moved to the Red brand on Night 2 of the 2021 WWE Draft and was their #8 pick. It remains to be seen if WWE will now give the former NXT Champion a big push on Monday nights. Drew McIntyre, meanwhile, was drafted to SmackDown for the very first time since his return to the company in 2017.
After being moved to RAW in 2018, the Scotsman has been a constant fixture on the Red brand.
As per WrestleVotes, a WWE writer was keen to see the Irishman be used in Drew McIntyre's role on RAW, prior to the Draft.
Finn Balor's return to the WWE main roster
Finn Balor, a former WWE Universal Champion, had asked WWE to move him down to NXT two years ago as he wasn't happy with his run on the main roster. The Irish star's return to the Black-and-Gold brand was a success, facing the likes of Adam Cole, Damian Priest and Keith Lee. He won the NXT Championship for the second time last year before losing it to Karrion Kross.
Balor made his return to the main roster on SmackDown earlier this year and promised fans that he would win titles on the Blue brand.
“So, the reason that I’m here on SmackDown is to win championships. Buckle your seat belts; we’re going for a ride!" Balor said after his return.
He was in a feud with Roman Reigns, resulting in a match against him at Extreme Rules, which he lost. The ring ropes gave way when Balor was on top of the turnbuckle, which demolished any hopes of him winning the Universal title for the second time - and ending Reigns' Universal title reign.
