Pro Wrestling Sheet recently reported that Finn Balor has asked for some time off after SummerSlam. This is a two month sabbatical seemingly to recharge his batteries.
I'm guessing that this is the reason why he's been inserted into the feud and has been taken out of the Intercontinental Championship feud. The fact of the matter is that he could have lost to Shinsuke Nakamura because of the very same reason as well.

Now this allows for Bray Wyatt to have a great showing at WWE SummerSlam. Wyatt could take out all his ire and all his fury on Balor and dismantle him for a long period of time, setting the stage for a big return of The Demon at some point somewhere down the line.
If this is booked in the right manner, this feud can stretch all the way to WrestleMania.
