"Well, I’m not sure if the possibility of a Triple-Threat at SummerSlam is off the cards right now so, if we could somehow finagle that, that would be fantastic, but if not, obviously the one reason I’m in SmackDown is to become Universal Champion so you know, Roman Reigns is who I want," said Balor. "I’ve wrestled John before, I’ve wrestled Roman before but what I want is to [regain] the Universal Championship," said Finn Balor.
However, Balor might first engage in a feud with Baron Corbin on the Blue brand. Both superstars are set to face each other in a singles match tonight, and The Prince would want to make the former king pay for his actions.
An extended feud with Corbin will also allow Balor to gain momentum on WWE SmackDown before he officially challenges Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. It will be exciting to see what’s in store for him on the Blue brand.
