10 Wrestlers Having An AMAZING 2023 (… That Nobody Is Talking About)
7. Finn Balor
A 41-year-old 21-year veteran still wrestling the style he does is warrantable enough for Finn Balor's insertion, yet it's his current positioning that is of greater concern. Finn, as Edge's successor, is currently the de facto leader of Raw's Judgement Day stable, backed by an exceptional SmackDown Women's Champion in Rhea Ripley, a first-rate heel in Dominik Mysterio, and a thriving rioter in Damian Priest, WWE officials high on him following a lavish San Juan Street Fight vs. Bad Bunny.
Finn, as Judgement Day's commander, is simultaneously its nonessential entity. Such crass allegations are what's seemingly triggered a monumental year for him, however.
Recent outings vs. Edge and Seth Rollins publicised the vigorous striker at his visceral best, the former, particularly, displaying Balor as a rebellious and inexorable fighter. His mixture of styles in the match coupled seamlessly with his harrowing and legend-making laceration that had to be treated with a numbing agent and staples mid-match, turning Balor into a WrestleMania 39 icon. Finn, playing an abhorred heel who'd previously tried to break the leg of a sports entertainment legend and led a beating of said legend's wife, was as much of a doted hero as he was a scorned miscreant.
Seek out his recent TV match vs. Seth Rollins from Raw's 8 May broadcast on top of the Edge battle. Finn can still go. It's time to acknowledge and appreciate this.
