10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Aug 1)
1. What’s Next For Finn Balor?
Well, it’s all downhill for Finn Balor now.
OK, that might be a bit overstated, but seriously, has anyone had a better debut night in WWE in recent memory? Balor showed up on Raw for the first time last week, won a fatal four-way and then pinned a former three-time world champion to punch his ticket for a world (universal) title shot at SummerSlam.
What’s next for Balor? What does he do for an encore? Odds
are that it will have something to do with his SummerSlam opponent, Seth
Rollins. This is being billed as the “New Era” for WWE, and having
Balor/Rollins as its top program for its flagship show might qualify. WWE gave
us something new and unpredictable – assuming Finn would be a big deal was a
safe bet, but catapulted to a title shot on his first night was not – so trying
to guess what’s next might be tough.
Let’s just cross our fingers and pray that the words “50/50 booking” isn’t part of the writers’ lexicon on this one.
