Can Finn Balor Make A Comeback?

As WWE looks toward a revamp of storylines and the annual Royal Rumble, Finn Balor could be positioned for a comeback.

It’s the beginning of the New Year, which means there’s a lot of changes coming to WWE. One way that WWE is looking to make their shows better is by giving certain superstars a huge push. Finn Balor is one of the stars rumored to be in line for a huge storyline for 2019.

Finn Balor is undoubtedly one of WWE’s most popular stars. The former indie star took WWE by storm when he signed with the company. His career started out promising in NXT when he became their top champion. During the 2016 draft, he was in the top three when it came to RAW’s picks.

Balor quickly showed his main event status when he beat Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. However, a shoulder injury forced Balor to relinquish the title just hours after winning it. After nearly eight months out of action, Balor made his return in April 2017. Many felt that Balor would automatically be given his rematch at the Universal Championship, but like many other top stars, Balor found himself in the midcard scene with nothing to do.

But in recent months, Balor has become a focal point of RAW due to his feud with Baron Corbin. Heading into 2019, it looks like Finn is in line for a big comeback.

So if the rumors are true, what does the new year hold for Finn Balor?

Many fans want Finn to win back the Universal Championship, I’m one of the fans who’d love to see the title back on Balor. However, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

While the WWE Universe hopes that Finn will be the one to dethrone Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, odds are Finn won’t be in the main event. I think Seth Rollins will be the one to do that honor. 

But Finn Balor will be in the Royal Rumble match:

Instead, I can see Finn being included in the Intercontinental Championship picture. Dean Ambrose is the current champion, someone Finn has never fought before.  A match between The Demon King and The Lunatic Fringe would be a dream for wrestling fans.

Having babyface Finn defeat a heel Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship would be a huge boost for the star. Not only will he have a title around his waist again, but it will also show that he still has what it takes to be a main eventer.

As for whether Finn will ever be Universal Champion again, I do believe it will happen, just not anytime soon. If the rumors are true that Rollins will win the title, I can see WWE revisiting the feud between the two men. Finn could confront Rollins with the fact that he’s owed a rematch, and Rollins can resort back to his heel demeanor by trying to get out of the match with Balor.

Whether he’s battling for the Intercontinental Championship or the Universal Championship, 2019 is destined to have a good year. So all you Finn Balor fans, get ready for Finn’s comeback.
