3. Finn Balor Vs. Dean Ambrose

He may very well be the current WWE Champion, but Dean Ambrose has been anything but protected over the last couple of years. The first pick last night for Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, Ambrose has already done battle (unsuccessfully) against the marquee picks on RAW, with losses in his record against Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.

All RAW's marquee picks except one of course. Finn Balor was finally announced on the main roster last night, the big name to finish off the first round of picks. His ascension had been expected for a long time, and even his high positioning wasn't that much of a surprise.

A whole host of big matches await Balor, and a host of cross-brand matches truly bring the mouth to watering point. Balor vs. AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, John Cena and Mojo Rawley (ahem) await, but a match against the current World Champion Dean Ambrose gets my nod.
