Finn Balor is on top of the world right now. He is the Intercontinental Champion and he is very much in love. He had a great match with Andrade at Super ShowDown, which went on a little too long, in my honest opinion, but it was still a pretty well-worked contest.

But a Champion is only as relevant as the Challengers he faces in the ring, is he not? Which is why I'd imagine that Finn Balor could call Aleister Black out and the two men could wage wars against one another going forward.

Their styles would actually complement one another's, and more importantly, their dark personas would be perfect when it comes to telling a story building up to their big match. Aleister Black's mysterious and enigmatic persona against the Demon that lurks within Balor would make a compelling tale.

Would you have picked these men too?
