WrestleMania 35: 4 Potential Opponents For Finn Balor

WrestleMania is the biggest stage that WWE have to offer, and the 35th instalment of that show is on the horizon, but we still don't have a clear opponent for the Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor.

He just won the Championship from Bobby Lashley a few weeks ago, and given how key that title has been to the WWE over the years, he needs to have a big singles bout at WrestleMania to show just how good he is.

From up and coming stars to ageing veterans, there are many potential opponents for the Irish star, and if the WWE want to reintroduce The Demon back into Finn's character, here would be the place to do it. So read along and see which 4 opponents could be Finn Balor's potential opponent on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

#4 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano has been one of the hottest wrestlers in the WWE not named Becky Lynch over the past 2 years, with several classics under his belt, and it's time he gets to show that on the main roster.

He came to RAW alongside his DIY partner Tomasso Ciampa, but due to his injury, Johnny Wrestling's spot on the main roster is up in the air, so a singles classic at WrestleMania could truly put him on the map.

Over the past year, he's had some incredible matches with the likes of Andrade, Tomasso Ciampa, Ricochet, Aleister Black, The Velveteen Dream and others, so getting a singles bout with someone as good as Finn Balor would no doubt turn out a classic.

The WWE likely aren't going to push Johnny this quickly, but if they did, it would solidify him as a mid-card player for years to come, and with his ability to sell as an underdog, he could slowly rise up the ranks to become a main event star.

#3 Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle hasn't been doing much of anything since returning to the WWE, and in the few bouts he has had, the Olympic Gold Medallist hasn't looked the same, and it's clear his career is slowly coming to an end.

Simply put, Kurt is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and he needs one final run to go out on top, which means wrestling the best today has to offer, and one of those possible opponents could be Finn Balor.

The story could be simple: the ageing Kurt showing that he can still hang with the young guys, and while it would be a classic on par with his other WrestleMania bouts, it could still be quality.

He hasn't had anything significant to do in the past few months, and it's clear that he's likely only got one year left in the WWE, so having as many dream matches as possible makes sense, and he could start at WrestleMania.

#2 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley and Finn Balor have been feuding since the night after the Royal Rumble, and after Finn came out on top at Elimination Chamber, he didn't pin Lashley, so this one makes a lot of sense.

A clean win over The Almighty at Fastlane would make quite a lot of sense so Finn could move on to something bigger and better at WrestleMania, but that's not the WWE way.

It seems that Lashley is headed for a showdown with The Shield at Fastlane, so he could always move on from this rivalry, but given how often the WWE like to drag out rivalries, this one is certainly a possibility.

The rivalry has been decent so far, with nothing too exciting, but when it comes to the WWE, they like to stretch things out, and given how many exciting matches have already been set up, this one is likely, simply so they can get an Intercontinental Championship bout on the card.

#1 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has been a force since returning to the main roster for the first time in a number of years, but he's not yet had that standout feud or match that solidifies him as a top star.

It's clear from his look, his promo, the way he is presented and his in-ring work that he's a main event star waiting to happen, so he may not come out on top at 'Mania, but the bout would be a classic.

If Balor and The Scottish Psychopath were given 10 minutes to tell a story, they could have the entire WWE Universe invested, and they'd make sure it would be a physical affair.

Outside of the top 4-5 feuds, right now, we don't know much about the WrestleMania 35 situation for so many stars, so a blowoff bout with Braun Strowman could also be an option for Drew, but this is one that the WWE seriously need to consider.
