10 Wrestlers At Risk Of Missing Out On The WrestleMania 38 Card

10. Finn Bálor

Finn had barely returned to SmackDown before he was talking in interviews about wanting to have a third run in NXT one day. Hardly surprising given how badly things have worked out for him back on the main roster.

Despite looking the part as a Universal Title challenger, Finn was clearly a stopgap for Roman Reigns while we waited for an already-booked match with Brock Lesnar. He became another warm body for Reigns to beat, with their title match effectively ruining Bálor's previously well protected “Demon” gimmick.

A move to Raw did little to revive his fortunes. Despite reports he was set to become the brand’s top heel, the latest rumours suggest Vince has entirely given up on him. Lately he’s been seen going 50/50 with Austin Theory, but Theory was clearly the pushed project and Bálor essentially a prop that serves the story.

Finally, Bálor was omitted from this year's Royal Rumble, with photos emerging of him back home in Ireland. Though he’s supposed to be back in time for WrestleMania, he might be better off extending his trip. Of course, the version of NXT Bálor loved has been 2.0'ed out of existence. Which is a real shame, because it doesn’t look like he’s in Vince’s plans this WrestleMania Season.
