10 Burning Questions For WWE Payback

5. Is Balor Being Wasted?

In a word: YES.

Finn Balor was on a meteoric rise as the first WWE Universal Champion last year before an errant Seth Rollins powerbomb into the barricade put him on the shelf for more than a half-year. He returned to WWE immediately after WrestleMania and has reestablished himself, but hasn’t really been put into a major angle yet (although there's always a chance someone like Bray Wyatt could be on the horizon).

And Sunday, instead of fighting someone and laying them out with the Coup de Grace, Balor will be chatting with the Miz on Miz TV. On the kickoff show.

Let’s hope that launches Finn with a feud that gets him on track. If so, then it’s just a slow reintroduction. If we're getting Wyatt/Balor, will we at least get more of an indication at Payback?
