10 NXT Stars Who Could Feature In The 2015 Royal Rumble
4. Finn Balor
Another international commodity who recently made his NXT debut is Finn Balor. The Irish grappler formerly known as Prince Devitt accomplished everything he ever wanted overseas before signing with WWE in the middle of last year. Now he has a new set of goals. Goals which most likely include a spot in The Royal Rumble. Balor brings a similar in-ring style to that of Hideo Itami. In fact, since his NXT debut, he has appeared at Itamis side to defeat the likes of The Ascension. Where he delivers a bit better than Itami is on the sports-entertainment end of things. The former leader of Bullet Club has a pension for the dramatic when it comes to his ring entrances. Covering his body in war paint to represent iconic comic book characters such as Spider-Man, Carnage, Venom, The Joker, and The Punisher, Balor intimidates before he even steps between the ropes. His ring entrance at NXT Takeover in December was spine-tingling. Just imagine if he pulled out something similar this Sunday night. It would be unlike anything you see on WWE TV today. Quite possibly an all-time great Royal Rumble moment, even if it did put a massive target on his back. In fact, I think I just had an idea for his war paint
